FIUTS Scholarship Opportunity: 2022 Betty and Hiro Ogawa Award

Betty and Hiro Ogawa

Applications are open for this year’s Betty and Hiro Ogawa Award.

Betty Jean Crouch came to the University of Washington in the mid 1960’s to study sociology. While a student and volunteer for FIUTS, she met Hiro Ogawa, a Japanese student studying business, who would later become her husband of more than 46 years. This award was created by Hiro in memory of Betty’s legacy and lifelong commitment to promoting Japan/US relations and building understanding and harmony between our two countries. The Ogawa family continues this award in honor of the importance of building peace and understanding between our two nations.

The Ogawa Award grants one $5,000 scholarship each year to a University of Washington graduate or undergraduate student from any country in recognition of their work to promote cross-cultural understanding between Japan and the United States through their involvement in FIUTS programs.

Applications are open now! Apply by February 5, 2022 to be considered. The Ogawa Award recipient will be announced at FIUTS CulturalFest on February 19. - click here to learn more and apply!
