KCC Japan Education Exchange Graduate Fellowships Program

The KCC Japan Education Exchange Graduate Fellowships Program was established in 1996 to support qualified PhD graduate students for research or study in Japan. The purpose of the fellowship is to support future American educators who will teach more effectively about Japan. One fellowship of $30,000 will be awarded. Applicants may affiliate with Kobe College (Kobe Jogakuin) for award year, if selected. The fellowship supports PhD candidates who have passed their qualifying exams and are at the dissertation stage. The travel grant may not be used for language training, and preference is given to applicants who are already proficient in research level Japanese language. Research interests may include the arts, culture, education, language, history, journalism or business. Preference is given to applicants who have not previously studied or lived in Japan.
