Sylff Research Abroad: Application Guidelines Partially Changed for 2nd Round of Applications Due September 30
Update. Jul. 22,2010
The Sylff Research Abroad was launched in April 2009. The program provides currently enrolled Sylff fellows with a fund of up to US$7,000 each to support a study abroad for up to three months. We are happy to report that more than a dozen Sylff fellows have benefitted from it by conducting in-depth research and interviews that they could not have done elsewhere to improve the quality of their academic dissertations. At the same time, we at the Tokyo Foundation have some concerns that at times the applicants do not seem to be fully knowledgeable about the rules of academic writings. (more…)

Update on Sylff Plus!
Update. Mar. 26,2010
The Tokyo Foundation is pleased to announce updates on Sylff Plus.
Sylff Plus aims to encourage and support the initiatives of Sylff community members (current and graduated Sylff fellows, as well as Sylff steering committee members) who wish to practice/help develop leadership skills, as we expect leaders to be proactive, to work for the benefit of others, to be inclusive of people, and to be effective even in an ambiguous situation.
We are looking forward to having Sylff community members utilize these opportunities to the fullest this year!
