Announcement: Aurora Challenge Grant is on hiatus
AURORA CHALLENGE
GRANT
Applications are now being
accepted for the AURORA CHALLENGE GRANT (CG) . The grant
will be awarded to a citizen of the USA who resides in California
and has a unique dream, in any field of endeavor, which is related
to Japanese culture and which it would never be possible to realize
without traveling to Japan between fall 2007 and summer 2008.
There is no age limit and no GPA/Scholastic achievement requirement.
The award will go to an individual with a creative dream or challenge
that, if fulfilled, would contribute to global goodwill and intercultural
appreciation.
The winner will receive a $3000 scholarship and roundtrip air
tickets from the USA to Japan (economy class). The recipient
can travel anytime (for any duration) between fall 2007 and summer
2008. By awarding this grant, the Aurora Foundation hopes to
help the winner enhance the pursuit of her or his truest, most
heartfelt dream by providing the opportunity for a once in a
lifetime experience.
All applicants must be citizens of the USA. Selection criteria
will include the commitment of the applicants to their dream
projects, necessity of Aurora's support, and positive future
potential.
After the Japan trip, the grant awardee will be required to submit
a report to the Aurora Foundation about the experience in Japan
and progress of the project.
