I thank Fulbright for the opportunity to pursue my research and to do so by including my family. Applicants should also note that the Japan Fulbright commission has been willing to award grants to both members of a married couple. Concerns about the high cost of living should not be a barrier to applying for a Fulbright award in Japan. The Fulbright commission in Tokyo offers one of the largest benefit packages in the Fulbright program. Researchers receive 470,000 - 650,000 yen per month.
Researchers also receive a research allowance.
The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State.
