Now in its 26th year, the Queensland Department of Education International is providing Queensland Year 12 students of Japanese language with the opportunity to undertake a cultural immersion experience in Japan to enhance their language proficiency and deepen their knowledge of Japan’s society and culture by being actively immersed in new environments.
The Prize is strongly supported by the Consulate General of Japan in Brisbane and is funded by generous contributions from Iwasaki Sangyo Corporation and the Department of Education, through its international arm, DE International to nurture the growth of Japanese language and cultural competence in young Queenslanders.
The number of student prizes awarded in any one year depends on the donations received and the number and quality of the applications received from students.
Recipients will receive return economy class airfares to Japan, travel insurance, accommodation, tuition fees, most meals and visa (if required).
Students will travel unaccompanied to/from Japan in January – February 2024, but will be met in-country on arrival.
Submissions closing 5pm Sunday, 16 July 2023.
