Opportunity Information: Apply for TOKYO PAS FY22 01 05

The U.S. Embassy Tokyo is offering a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Promote Study abroad to the United States - Undergraduate Education" (Funding Opportunity Number: TOKYO PAS FY22 01 05) under CFDA 19.040. The program is run by the U.S. Mission to Japan and is centered on education-focused activities that encourage and expand study abroad from Japan to the United States, with a clear emphasis on U.S. undergraduate institutions. In practical terms, the Embassy is looking for proposals that can manage and administer programs aimed at increasing the number of Japanese students who choose to enroll in undergraduate study in the U.S., suggesting an outreach, advising, recruitment-support, or pipeline-building focus rather than funding individual tuition directly.

Eligible applicants are broad and include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both with and without U.S. 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those categories), and individuals. The opportunity explicitly notes that American and/or Japanese nonprofits or individuals may apply, signaling that the Embassy is open to proposals that are locally rooted in Japan, U.S.-based, or collaborative across both countries, as long as the project is capable of delivering credible program administration and measurable growth in undergraduate study abroad participation.

The award is structured as a grant, with an award ceiling of $35,000. The posting indicates one expected award, meaning the Embassy likely intends to select a single lead implementer for the proposed program approach. The opportunity was created on February 22, 2022, and the original application closing date was April 15, 2022. Because it is a competitive announcement, applicants would be expected to propose a program concept, implementation plan, and administration method that fits within the budget cap and aligns with the Embassy's goal of increasing Japanese undergraduate enrollment in the United States.

Overall, this grant is best understood as small, targeted program funding to design and run an initiative that makes U.S. undergraduate study more accessible and attractive to Japanese students, potentially through activities such as information sessions, counseling and advising structures, partnerships between Japanese and U.S. institutions, application and admissions guidance, or other organized programming that can demonstrate a clear pathway to increased student participation.
