Hi! Does anyone know if there are any graduate internship/scholarship programs out there for ppl with dual citizenship?
I'm half Japanese and was raised in the U.S. almost my whole life. I’ve graduated with a BA in Japanese and have N2 level certification. I also have US & JP citizenship and some of these programs (like JET/MEXT) require you to give up your Japanese citizenship, but that's the last thing I would do.
I've wanted to study abroad in Japan for a long time (but didn't happen because of covid). I used to go to Japan during the summer to visit my family, which is also a reason why I have always been interested in studying abroad in Japan to experience the language and culture. Ever since I was little, I've always thought about living in Japan at some point in my life, and I'd like to experience it in my 20s before it's too late.
I was laid off from my job as a remote (JP → EN) translator a year ago and am currently unemployed. The job market has made it difficult for me to find a secure job here in the U.S.. I feel stagnant in life, so I'd like to take this opportunity to get into a new environment for my career and future.
If anyone knows of any other internship/scholarship programs or advice for ppl like me, please let me know!
Thanks in advance!
