SANYO Scholarship is a dream come true for local Japanese Language Student
April 16, 2008
On April 16th, 2008., San Diego State University (SDSU) student Jennice
Lodi was awarded a SANYO-funded scholarship to assist with her Japanese
language studies in Japan. Professor Yoshiko Higurashi, director of
SDSU's Japanese Language program, established the annual scholarship in
1983. This year marks their 25th anniversary in recognizing the
outstanding achievements by local students majoring in the study of
various aspects of the Japanese language.
The ceremony was
held at SDSU campus near SANYO North America's San Diego Headquarters.
It is our great pleasure and honor to support educational
achievements," Alan Foster, a vice president of SANYO North America
Corporation noted, "please use the scholarship for your valuable
growth." Jennice will begin her studies at the Osaka University of the
Arts in September 2008. In addition, she plans to create a documentary
film on Japanese culture and hopes to make it available through the
internet to students around the world interested in visiting Japan.
