Available Now for Temple Scholars
.Scholarship Committee
The Temple offers .scholarships to applicants who are sons and daughters of Temple members (or who may be dues-paying members themselves).
What. Two scholarships are available.
For Students Beyond Freshman Year: The Tetsuyo Kashima Memorial Continued Education Scholarship application includes both a one-page form and an informal essay requirement. (Note: As of this writing, we believe that all potential applicants are in this category.)
For Students Entering College: The Ben Honda Memorial Graduating High School Graduate Scholarship is a one-page form.
Blank word processing files are also available in the RTF format, compatible witn major word processors.
How. The application forms can be downloaded from the links above. Or, if you prefer, paper forms can be mailed from the Temple by request or electronic files by email attachment. (Note: Files are in RTF format which work across most word processing software. These forms were posted in our forms section earlier this month.)
When and Where. Applications are due at the Temple office July 1, either as a hard copy or sent via email attachment. We hope that awards will be presented during the 2022 Obon Service on Sunday, July 31, currently scheduled as a live/hybrid service.
Who. These memorial scholarships are named after two beloved members who helped the Temple grow and thrive in the Post-War period, both of whom passed away far too soon in the mid-1990s.
Why. We encourage all qualified applicants to apply. Scholarships help with costs when every little bit helps, and they distinguish resumes when graduates apply for jobs and opportunities.
Beyond Academics. On request, a portion of Scholarship funds are available to Temple Members to offset the costs (travel or registration fees) of deepening your understanding of Jodo Shinshu.
Please contact the Temple office for more details.
