To be eligible, applicants must live in Clackamas, Multnomah, or Washington County, Oregon or Clark County, Washington; must be of Japanese ancestry; and must have at least one parent or guardian of Japanese ancestry. The student must also have attended four years of high school (or the equivalent) in the United States, and either the student or parent must belong to a participating organization.

Participating organizations include the Buddhist Daihonzan Henjyoji Temple, Epworth United Methodist Church, Gresham-Troutdale Japanese American Citizens League (JACL), Japanese Ancestral Society (Nikkei Jinkai), Japanese Women’s Society (Nikkei Fujinkai), Nichiren Buddhist Temple, Oregon Buddhist Temple, Oregon Nisei Veterans, Portland JACL, Shokookai, and Veleda.
