Donations

In addition to the primary funding from both the Japanese and U.S. governments, the Fulbright Program in Japan gratefully receives support from alumni volunteer activities, private sector companies, organizations, and individuals. With this increased financial support, Fulbright Japan has been able to offer additional grants each year to Japanese and Americans. Donations support the most talented minds of both Japan and the U.S. along their promising paths as Fulbrighters.
