The Hakuho Foundation – a ‘public interest incorporated foundation’ focusing on language and education, yesterday began accepting applications for the 10th Hakuho Japanese Research Fellowship.

Objectives of the program include maintaining and strengthening research into Japanese language, culture, literature and education; and eligible researchers are invited to conduct residential research in these areas.

Eligible researchers require sufficient Japanese language proficiency to be able to conduct research in Japanese and must be International researchers working in the fields of Japanese language, Japanese language education, Japanese literature or Japanese culture.

The Hakuho Foundation has been working to enhance children’s growth and development through language and education since 1970. The Hakuho Award was implemented in the organization’s founding year and recognizes the outstanding achievements of educators – often in the field of Japanese language education.

The Hakuho Research Grant for Child Education followed in 2003, and subsequently the Hakuho Foundation Japanese Research Fellowship and the Hakuho Scheme for a Global Children’s Japanese Network; both focusing on international education.
