While we strive to keep the cost of these conferences accessible, with a participation fee of just 30% of the actual cost per student of these programs, thanks to our donors and supporters, many students find the financial and opportunity cost of joining ISC Conferences to be increasingly prohibitive, making participation difficult. This is especially the case for those from working-class backgrounds, with student loans, or other financial difficulties. The ISC Plant a Diplomatic Tree Scholarship provides a needs-based scholarship for one accepted delegate for each conference, covering the full cost of participation in JASC, KASC, and ChASC. Application instructions will be emailed to accepted delegates for each conference.

JASC Branch in Honor of Kristy Murray Holch
In 2022, the ISC Board of Directors named a branch of the “tree” in honor of Kristy Murray Holch (JASC 38) and her commitment to global citizenship. As ISC Board Chair for over a decade, Kristy expanded ISC’s mission to sow the seeds for deeper peer-to-peer opportunities beyond Japan to include Korea and China. Unexpectedly, Kristy passed away in July. In her honor, Kristy’s family, ISC and Board members past and present dedicated a branch in her name.
