On July 31, 16 students were recipients of awards from the Japanese American Treaty Centennial Scholarship Fund given during a first-time virtual scholarship presentation award ceremony.
The fund was founded by the Japanese Chamber of Commerce of Southern California in 1960 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the first Japanese official delegation to the U.S. in 1860. Since that time, JATCSF has given 1,802 scholarships to Japanese American scholars.
Kitty Sankey, president of JATCSF, greeted the students and parents, followed by Consul General Akira Muto, who gave a video congratulatory greeting.
Since 2010, former recipients have assisted the JATCSF during scholarship ceremonies. This year, 2014 scholar Kristen Shiba and 2016 scholar Kyle Okazaki served as masters of ceremonies. Scholarships were not awarded in 2020 due to COVID, so this year, scholarships were given to both 2021 and 2020 graduates.
