Transportation
Students must make their own travel arrangements to Kansai International Airport (near Osaka) for the start of the program and from Kyoto/Osaka to their home destination at the end of the program.
Making inquiries and arrangements for financial aid is the responsibility of the student. Many students have been able to apply financial aid from their home institution to the Buddhist Studies in Japan Program.
Scholarship and Grant Opportunities
Student scholarships for the 2010 Buddhist Studies in Japan program may be offered. Further details will be posted when they become available.
Antioch Education Abroad has compiled a list of resources for outside grants and scholarships that may be applicable to this study abroad program. We strongly recommend that students begin the scholarship and grant application process as early as possible, as these deadlines may differ considerably from AEA deadlines.

Outside scholarships can be of great help. In the past, students on AEA have successfully received the Gilman International Scholarship for up to $5,000. The application deadline for this substantial award is April 15.
