United States-Japan Foundation Invites Applications for Pre-College Education Grants Program

  • July 15, 2020

The United States-Japan Foundation its accepting applications for its Pre-College Education grants program.

Through the program, grants will be awarded in support of innovative K-12 education projects designed to help young Americans and Japanese learn about each other's society, culture, and country, as well as how to work together on issues of common concern.

To that end, USJF seeks to support programs that build human networks among teachers on both sides of the Pacific with a mutual interest in teaching and learning about Japan, the U.S., and U.S.-Japan relations, particularly in the fields of social studies, science, and Japanese language instruction; that have been underserved in terms of exposure to, and resources for, learning about the other country; that take advantage of new technology to bring Japanese and American teachers and students together; that enlist the expertise residing at institutions of higher learning and other NGOs in support of U.S.-Japan studies programs at the elementary, middle, and high school levels in both countries; that present the products of research and policy studies and media programs on U.S.-Japan issues to an audience of pre-college students and their teachers, with the aim of fostering mutual learning and understanding among young people who will be future leaders in both countries; that enhance, expand, and preserve the study of the Japanese language at the pre-college level in the United States through teacher professional development opportunities, national standards, and performance assessments; that develop curricula and other products focused on Japan and/or the United States that are immediately relevant to and useful in meeting the demands faced by teachers at the pre-college level; and that continue to support and enhance the vast network of teachers and students who have been exposed to U.S.-Japan studies over the years through USJF-sponsored programs.

Letters of Inquiry are due November 15, although applicants are encouraged to submit an LOI as early as possible for review. Upon review, selected applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal by January 31, 2020.

To be eligible, U.S.-based applicants must be tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Japan-based organizations are requested to submit some form of documentation demonstrating their nonprofit status.
