4. Fulbright Student Grants<\/strong>
\nFulbright Student Grants are supported by the United States government as one of a set of programs created at the end of World War II.\u00a0 The intent of the Fulbright program in general is to “increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries through the exchange of persons, knowledge and skills.” Japan is on the list of countries regularly participating in the Fulbright program.<\/p>\n

Information about the program states that “applicants must be\u00a0U.S. citizens<\/strong> at the time of application, and must generally hold a\u00a0bachelor’s degree<\/strong> or its equivalent before the beginning date of the grant, and should be\u00a0proficient in the language of the host country<\/strong>.\u00a0 A detailed program of research and\/or study is necessary for a strong application, and candidates with sponsors in the receiving country have additional advantages.\u00a0 Grantees plan their own programs, and projects may include\u00a0university course work, independent library or field research, classes in music or art, and special projects in the social or life sciences<\/strong>.” The program is a good choice for students wishing to do conduct guided post-BA (or BS) research in Japan.<\/p>\n

Applications to the Fulbright program at Bates are handled by the Graduate Studies Committee.\u00a0 Each year in September this committee hosts an informational meeting about the Fulbright Student Grants and a flyer is sent out to seniors\u00a0 announcing this meeting.\u00a0 If you think you might want to apply for a Fulbright you should be sure to attend this meeting in the fall of your senior year.\u00a0 You should also consult with your major advisor about your plans.\u00a0 Also, setting up contacts at a Japanese university while you are in Japan studying during your Junior year can be a good way to begin preparation for applying for this fellowship.<\/p>\n

For more information on Fulbright Student Grants see their\u00a0web site<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. Rotary Scholarships<\/strong>
\nRotary Scholarships are sponsored by the Rotary Clubs around the globe and\u00a0applications must be made directly to a local branch<\/strong> of that organization.\u00a0 Japan has a very active Rotary Club organization and every year several scholars are sent there to study.\u00a0 Scholars “serve as ambassadors abroad while studying for one academic year” in Japan or any country where Rotary Clubs are located. Preference is given to applicants with strong Japanese language skills.\u00a0\u00a0 Seniors wishing to spent time studying in Japan after graduation are particularly welcome as applicants.<\/p>\n

Nominations made by local Rotary Clubs.\u00a0\u00a0 Interested students should contact the Rotary Club in their neighborhood by the spring of their junior year at the latest.<\/p>\n
