Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program (JFMF) |
The Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program (JFMF) is designed to provide American primary and secondary school teachers and administrators with opportunities for fully-funded short-term study programs in Japan. Its aim is to increase understanding of Japan among a crucial group of Americans who will be helping to shape and educate the next generation of leaders in the United States. The program will provide significant professional development opportunities for individuals who traditionally may not have had such opportunities, while increasing the level of understanding between Japan and the United States of America.
The Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program is sponsored by the Government of Japan. It was established to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Fulbright Program — a U.S. government-initiated project created in 1946 to foster mutual understanding through exchanges of university students, faculty and teachers. More than 6,800 Japanese have benefitted from the U.S. Fulbright scholarship program. Many Japanese recipients of Fulbright scholarships went on to become leaders in government, business, and education and were instrumental in the post-war redevelopment of Japan. To show the Japanese people's appreciation for the Fulbright Program, the Government of Japan established the Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund and is inviting thousands of American teachers and administrators to Japan over the coming years. The 2007 Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program competition marks the eleventh year of this program.
