Each year in September this committee hosts an informational meeting about the Fulbright Student Grants and a flyer is sent out to seniors announcing this meeting. 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. You should also consult with your major advisor about your plans. 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. Japan has a very active Rotary Club organization and every year several scholars are sent there to study.
Preference is given to applicants with strong Japanese language skills.
Seniors wishing to spent time studying in Japan after graduation are particularly welcome as applicants. Nominations made by local Rotary Clubs. Interested students should contact the Rotary Club in their neighborhood by the spring of their junior year at the latest.
