Grant Opportunities for Japanese Studies

The Embassy of Japan has shared the following grant opportunities with us.

The Government of Japan/the Japan Foundation has launched new grant programs for U.S.-based universities in response to the current budget challenges facing Japanese Studies programs. In response to these challenges, three grant programs are now available:

1. Study Tour Grants for Undergraduate and Master’s Students
2. Postdoctoral Fellowships in the U.S.
3. Short-Term Visiting Professorships in the U.S. for Japan-based Faculty

Application deadlines:

• June 1 for Programs 1 and 2
• July 1 for Program 3

These opportunities are currently planned as one-time initiatives, so we encourage colleagues and friends in Japanese Studies to consider applying.

Eligibility: U.S.-based universities and colleges with 501(c)(3) status or qualifying tax-exempt status)
