Eligibility

Dr. George Goro and Nettie Muramoto Memorial Scholarship, with an application deadline in March, offers numerous awards that vary in amount. Restricted to those with financial need.

Description

Dr. George Goro and Mrs. Nettie Muramoto were longtime residents of Sacramento, California. Goro served as president of the Sacramento JACL from 1941-1943. He, along with his chapter board, provided leadership and guidance to the local Japanese American community during a time of great prejudice and injustice. Nettie was one of the first Nisei (second generation JA) on the California State payroll in the mid-1930s as a stenographer at the DMV in Sacramento. She lived her life with dignity, grace and kindness. Preference for this award shall be a student who demonstrates financial need and/or is a graduate student. The scholarship may be awarded to entering freshman students, undergraduate students and graduate students. Entering freshman applicants must be high school seniors. Applicants must be planning to attend or be attending college, university, trade school, business school, or any other institution of higher learning within the United States in the Fall of 2026. Students deferring enrollment will not qualify for the 2026 scholarship program. Every applicant must be an active National JACL member. JACL membership is open to everyone of any ethnic background. Applicants must hold an Individual or Student/Youth Membership. A Couple/Family membership by a parent will not meet this requirement.
