Scholarship Upgrade at Middlebury Institute of International Studies
Whether you’ve recently returned from the JET Program or are contemplating a career change, you might be considering a master’s degree as your next step. If so, we’d like to share some information about our University Partnership with the Middlebury Institute of International Studies (MIIS). They’ve recently updated their partnership details, offering valuable financial assistance and flexible learning options that could be beneficial as you plan your next chapter.
Exclusive Scholarships for In-Person Programs
MIIS is offering a 50% discount scholarship (previously at 25%) to JET alumni admitted to their in-person degree programs, which might be of interest if you’re looking to continue your education or switch up career goals. This scholarship, valued at over $24,000 annually, can definitely help make graduate school more accessible.
Applying early could also increase your chances of receiving additional merit-based and need-based scholarships, further easing the cost of grad school.
Flexible Online Programs
If you happen to still be in Japan or need a more flexible study option, MIIS provides fully asynchronous online degree programs. These programs are designed to fit around your existing commitments, whether you're still teaching in Japan or balancing your current job. You can still waive the application fee and benefit from lower tuition cost for these programs.
For those of you planning to return home next summer, now might be a good time to start thinking about grad school applications. Rolling directly into a program after your time in Japan could be a smooth transition that allows you to continue building on the experiences you’ve gained through JET.
We encourage you to check out the resources MIIS offers to see if they align with your educational and professional goals. Whether you're interested in on-campus or online programs, this could be a valuable opportunity as you navigate your post-JET journey. For more details, click on the button below.
