General Guidelines
Metropolitan Center grants are ordinarily intended as seed money for new projects or as supplements to other income. As the Center rarely provides full support of large-scale activities, applicants are urged to seek funding from other agencies as well. Grants to doctoral candidates ordinarily supplement other sources to a maximum (from all sources) of $22,000 for a single student, $27,000 for a couple.
For application forms and detailed instructions, visit our website: www.metcenter-grants.net, or contact Maiko Behr, Administrator, Non-Japanese Grant Award Program, at: info@metcenter-grants.net. Applications must be submitted by secure electronic upload by 11:59 pm, December 31, 2021. Awards will be announced by April 15, and funds available after May 1.
