Hello. I have a FCCLA in my school. Glynn Academy in georgia? Don't know if you've heard of it, but Im a tenth grader right now and I was wondering if it's okay to sign up for the scholarship to japan now? I was in FCCLA last semester and also, is there a certain amount of years you should be in it? Thank you and sorry it's so long.

@Sweetbloodkisses sorry i'm replying so late, i dunno if this'll help, but you can definitely still apply! check out the application online

how long did you stay in japan...

was it a month?..6 months?..coz i went to the internet and they said the usual length in the program is around 6-12months...

i'm in my junior year and i would like to go to the program but i don't want to stay half of my senior year in japan..so how long was your program?

[nuggetz0r]

@gamegina mine was 6 weeks long, and it was a summer program

Hello!

I applied for the Kikkoman National and Toyota Nationwide scholarships, also through YFU. But I literally have found NO winners of either scholarship online. It's kind of puzzling, really :/

Did you meet any during orientation?

[nuggetz0r]

@TheAgentOfChaos yeah, i did -- i think they only choose like 1-2 people though, so maybe that's why its hard to find? i'm not sure

I really have been looking into this for quite sometime and i really want to apply for the scholorship but i have a zero chance. mainly because i've never taken a class that has anything to do with FCCLA and this would be my first year in it if i even sign up. I'll still have no classes to do with it. what was your application like? did you have a lot of family and consumer science classes? and how long had you been in FCCLA?

@animeismiluver i was going to be a senior in high school and i didn't know any japanese, it really depends on how long you stay and what program you go with
