Fujitsu's Full-Tuition Scholarship Available for
Up-and-Coming Global Managers from the Asia-Pacific and Hawaii
HONOLULU — Starting
on July 1, 2001 the Fujitsu
Asia Pacific Scholarship (Fujitsu Scholarship) program will
accept applications for the 2002-2003 program. Scholars from selected
countries of the Asia-Pacific will receive full-tuition and a stipend
toward living expenses for postgraduate education and cross-cultural
management training available at JAIMS
and the University
of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) College of Business Administration (CBA).
In addition, a Fujitsu Scholarship is especially set aside for residents
of the State of Hawaii where a full-tuition scholarship is awarded
to a qualified scholar to attend the Japan-focused MBA or China-focused
MBA program.
Established in 1985 by Fujitsu
Limited, the Fujitsu Scholarship is available for three programs:
the Japan-focused MBA
(JEMBA), the China-focused
MBA (CHEMBA), and the
Intercultural Management Program (ICMP). The JEMBA and CHEMBA
program is a cooperative venture of JAIMS and the UHM CBA. The ICMP
program is exclusively offered by JAIMS. These programs focus on
cross-cultural studies, communication and language skills, and business
strategies relevant to their country of study: Japan, China, and
the U.S. respectively.
As a reflection of Hawaii's own cultural diversity,
scholars have come from many countries in the Asia-Pacific to study
in Honolulu. Citizens of several countries are eligible for the
scholarship: Australia, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia,
Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore,
Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Special conditions apply
to citizens from China, Myanmar and Vietnam. In addition, the scholarship
is also open to residents of the State of Hawaii.
Roxanne Kam, manager of academic services at
JAIMS, believes that the Fujitsu scholarship is a key opportunity
for up-and-coming managers from Hawaii to excel in the global market.
"With Hawaii's location between the east and west, Hawaii residents
should definitely take advantage of the Fujitsu Scholarship and
enroll in one of the MBA programs-JEMBA or CHEMBA," Kam said.
With over 200 Fujitsu Scholarships awarded in
the last 16 years, many companies in the U.S. and overseas have
hired past scholars. Included are companies recognized as global
leaders in their industry such as Johnson & Johnson, Hewlett-Packard,
Goldman Sachs (Japan) Ltd., Citibank Hong Kong, Honda R&D Co., Ltd.,
Edward Jones Investment, Cisco Systems (USA) Pte. Ltd., and Sun
Microsystems.
Individuals who wish to apply for the Fujitsu
Scholarship will need to submit all relevant application materials
by October 31, 2001. For more information, please visit http://www.fapsp.com
