Yonsei Basketball Association 2010 Scholarship Information 

For the past 16 years, the Yonsei Basketball Association has selected boys and girls to participate in experiencing cultural differences through participation on the Yonsei goodwill basketball team in Japan. The selection of the players is based on not only their basketball skills, but also scholastic and extra-curricular activities. In keeping with our mission, we will be awarding 3 scholarships this year. One of the scholarships will be the Sue Kamiyama Scholarship, named in memory of one of the charter members of the Yonsei Basketball Association. Sue was a valued member of Yonsei since its beginning, and was a strong and vocal advocate of girls’ youth sports. This year we are also able to award two general Yonsei scholarships.
