🌱 Plant a Diplomatic Tree — Help a Student Grow
Every summer, students from the U.S. and Asia come together through ISC’s life-changing conferences — not as tourists, but as future leaders. But for many, cost is still a barrier.
This year, we’re raising $10,000 to fully fund three outstanding students to participate in the 2026 Japan-America, Korea-America, or China-America Student Conferences. With your help, they won’t have to say no to an opportunity that could change their career, worldview, and life.
🎓Why This Matters Now
When governments struggle to talk, students step up. Our delegates don't just study international relations—they live them. They:
– Research US-Asia policy challenges with peers from partner countries
– Present findings to embassy officials and business leaders
– Build networks that become job offers, research partnerships, and wedding parties
– Return home with perspective money can't buy
The Kristy Murray Holch Legacy Branch
This branch honors Kristy Murray Holch (JASC 38), who served for over a decade as ISC Board Chair, expanding opportunities for students across Japan, Korea, and China. When she passed unexpectedly in 2022, the ISC Board of Directors continued her legacy through this scholarship branch for our Japan conference.
Kristy believed every student deserves a seat at the table. Help us keep that promise.
