University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa<\/a> senior Joseph Cardello<\/strong> will receive the 2016–17 Monbukagakusho Scholarship<\/a> from the Japanese government’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) on September 15. Cardello is one of only a handful of undergraduates in the U.S.<\/abbr> to be awarded the scholarship.<\/p>\n

The Consul General of Japan in Honolulu will formally present the honor to Cardello during the September 15 ceremony. Cardello will leave for the one-year study in Japan at the Kyoto University soon after. The Monbukagakusho Scholarship covers tuition and living expenses, and also provides stipends.<\/p>\n

Japanese instructor and MEXT<\/abbr> Coordinator Miki Ogasawara<\/strong> helped Cardello through the application process. She notes, “Joseph’s language proficiency is of the highest level. All of us in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures<\/a> are excited that he will realize his dream of going to Japan to continue his study.”<\/p>\n

“Instructor Ogasawara has helped me through the scholarship process, and has been an excellent advisor during my entire time at UHM<\/abbr>,“ said Cardello. ”I would also like to thank Japanese Professor Kazue Kanno and the members of the Consulate General of Japan.”<\/p>\n

While in Japan, Cardello wants to learn about, and gain a deeper appreciation of, traditional arts such as chado<\/em> (tea ceremony) and kabuki<\/em> and noh<\/em> (theater). <\/p>\n
