Become an Ambassador

The Cayman-Japan Ambassador Program is a full ride scholarship that is granted to one exceptional student per year to study abroad in Japan while representing the Cayman Islands.

To apply, the student must be 15 years or older, enrolled in a high school program in the Cayman Islands, and must be in good academic standing. The ideal candidate will have a keen interest in Japanese language, culture, and history, and be a leader among his/ her peers and within the community of the Cayman Islands.

The student accepted in this program will travel to Japan during the Summer to live with a Japanese host family and attend a high school in Japan. The student will learn Japanese through direct immersion in Japanese society and will experience Japanese culture first-hand by participating in festivals and local events.

While in Japan, the student will serve as a Cayman Islands Ambassador, representing the people and the values of our Islands. The goal of the Ambassador Program is to build bonds of friendship and cooperation between the Cayman Islands and Japan while also creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the student.

We are currently working with partners in Japan and are hoping to launch the Ambassador Program in the Summer of 2024. Please click the Become an Ambassador link below and fill out the form if you would like to study abroad.
