Two of the fellowships are restricted to women graduate students and one is open to women and men. Fellowships are for $24,000,one year, and not renewable.
The purpose of the program is to support future American educators to become more knowledgeable about Japan. It is expected that recipients of these fellowships will return to the U.S. to teach about Japan. While in Japan, fellowship recipients will be expected to visit Kobe (Jogakuin) Collegein Nishinomiya to give a presentation on the fellowship topic. Fellows will speak at a key meeting of the CCI in the U.S. upon completion of the fellowship year.
