U.S. Embassy Tokyo's Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition to promote study abroad, focusing on U.S. graduate educational institutions. This project intends to promote U.S. graduate schools by providing informative sessions and workshops nationwide, creating links between prospective students and alumni, and, therefore, increasing the number of Japanese who pursue U.S. graduate studies to include PhD in hard sciences. American and/or Japanese non-profit organizations may submit proposals to manage and administer innovative and creative programs designed to increase the number of Japanese students studying at U.S. graduate schools in a variety of fields. The proposals must also include plans to increase Japanese seeking PhDs in the hard sciences. Informative sessions, workshops must cover U.S. graduate schools in general, and promotion solely to a specific higher education institution or state will not be considered, although single/state may be use as case studies or examples.
