I have not yet completed my bachelor’s degree, but I am in progress. Am I eligible to apply for the 2027 JET Program?

Yes. Many individuals apply in the fall of their final year.  In order to be eligible, you must complete your degree and have it conferred by June 25, 2027 for the 2027 JET Program.  For April Arrivals (Early Placement), you must complete your degree by late January 2027.  At the time of application, you will be required to provide the JET Program Office with proof that shows you will graduate in this time frame.  If you provide a proof of expected graduation at the time of application, you will have to provide additional proof that you have actually graduated before you can depart for the JET Program.
