Hey Everyone,

I received this really interesting e-mail today again from Mr. Eric Korpiel about a program his institute sponsors that is similar to the JET Program, but for JTEs. Take a look, and if you know anyone who might be interested in this opportunity, do tell them.

Good Things,

Dan

Dear JET participants,


TLI appreciates the many responses from JET's regarding scholarships for
their students and welcomes further inquiries before our deadline.
Separately, we do not want to forget the third active participant, the JTE.
In many ways, a JTE's support is more critical than the ALT’s, as they will
continue on for many years. And, they are often lacking in experiences
using English practically. For this reason, TLI has the JOI program
offering which, in simple terms, works much like a "reverse-JET" program
for the JTE. http://www.laurasian.org/joi


Again, for those wishing to nominate a student for scholarship, we strongly
encourage you to contact soon. The deadline has been extended to March 15th
and further information can now be found at:

With all you and your students do this coming year, best wishes and
regards,


Eric Korpiel


Director, School Outreach

"The Laurasian Institution (TLI) was founded in 1990 and is dedicated to
cross-cultural pre-collegiate exchange. The J-corps, Jr. Program is for
Japanese students who wish to study in the U.S. for one academic year. TLI
interviews and selects based on both academic/English ability and other
intangibles, such as an eagerness to share about Japan and likeliness that
a student will thrive in an international setting. The deadline to apply
for the 2010-2011 school year is March 15, 2010.”

An update on this post. The deadline for the JOI program has already passed. I had been under the impression the deadline for this program had also been extended, but I was mistaken. That being said there is still time for students to apply for the JET scholarship being given by The Laurasian Institution.

Good Things,
Dan
