*Information about the 2017-2018 Microgrant Initiative will be posted shortly. The deadline for this year will be early November.

The United States Japan Exchange & Teaching Programme Alumni Association (USJETAA) with the United States Embassy in Tokyo, Japan invites all current U.S. JET participants to apply for the 2016-2017 JET Micro-grant Initiative.

Through this initiative, funded by the U.S. Embassy Tokyo, grants of $500 to $1,000 each will be awarded to fund activities that promote English language education and encourage future travel and study in the United States. Recognizing that all JET teachers are cultural ambassadors in their Japanese communities, this program ultimately seeks to strengthen the ties of friendship between the peoples of Japan and the United States of America.

Application Deadline: Friday, September 9, 2016
