Mr. Juria will spend two years studying at Sophia University Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies along with his peers.

The APIC-MCT Student Scholarship Program was created upon the agreement of APIC, Sophia University, and MCT (Micronesia Conservation Trust); the program focuses on developing talent from the perspective of environmental conservation. This graduate program enrolls students from the three nations of the Micronesia region into Sophia University Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies to obtain their master’s degree in said field. Since the program’s establishment in 2017, nine students have graduated from the program.

Since the 2021 spring semester, Sophia University has restarted in-person classes, taking all necessary precautions to prevent the transmission and spread of COVID-19.
