Current US JETs: 2024 Microgrant Applications are OPEN!
As the summer semester winds down and you look toward the fall, you may be ready to shake things up and bring something new and innovative to your school or community. To help bring your ideas to life, we invite you to apply for a microgrant to support your project. This program is administered by USJETAA and generously funded by the U.S. Embassy Tokyo.
This program offers small grants (typically $200-$1,000) to current US JETs to fund projects in their local Japanese communities. Whether you’re planning to create an English club event, establish an English library, or produce an after-school play, these funds can help you achieve your goals and make a lasting impact during your time in Japan.
