Support to continue study overseas
Rachel - UC Translation & Interpreting student

"Receiving the Barbara Mito Reed Award made it possible for me to study abroad in Japan, something that would not have been achievable without this support. The award helped cover the cost of my flights, removing a major financial barrier and allowing me to take part in an experience that changed my life.

During my time in Japan, I significantly improved my language skills, built lasting friendships with people from around the world, and discovered new academic and career pathways that I had never considered before.

Studying abroad broadened my horizons and gave me the confidence to pursue opportunities I once thought were out of reach. I am incredibly grateful for the Barbara Mito Reed Award and the life-changing experiences it made possible."

Support for UC students going on Exchange overseas
Support for study-related travel or to attend conferences
Kien - UC International Business student

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the Okamatsu and Kimura-Steven Family for their generous support, which made my dream trip to Japan possible. I'm also incredibly grateful to the UC Scholarship Team, the Japanese Department at UC, and my amazing teachers—Ogino Sensei, Susan Sensei, Alistair Sensei, and Eri Sensei—for their unwavering support and guidance throughout my journey.

This trip allowed me to explore seven incredible cities in Japan: Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Kyoto, and Fukuoka. Each city deepened my understanding of Japan's rich culture and the warmth of its people.

What made this trip truly special was the authentic hospitality I experienced. Thanks to my Japanese friends, I had the chance to stay with them, give gifts from Vietnam, and practice my Japanese, which was met with such warmth and kindness.

Thanks to this trip, my Japanese has improved significantly, and I’m excited to share that I’ve secured an internship in an intensive Japanese programme.
