Grants & Speakers Program

Grants & Speakers Program

The ASIJ PTA Grants & Speakers Program (GSP) supports innovative, student-centered initiatives that enrich educational experiences at ASIJ. The program offers up to ¥3,000,000 annually. These funds are distributed by the PTA Board to support projects that align with ASIJ’s mission and provide direct academic, social, artistic, athletic, or cultural benefit to students. All faculty, staff, parents, and student groups may apply, though student and parent applications must be sponsored by an ASIJ faculty or staff member.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis from May 1–April 1 each year and must be submitted before any expenditures are made. Proposed projects should go beyond the school's operating budget and preferably demonstrate broad impact across divisions. Recent GSP grants have supported author visits, student publications, virtual reality in classrooms, inclusive garden spaces, and more. 

Please check the program guidelines and application form for more information. Feel free to contact your PTA Division leader to discuss the options before applying.
