2014 JET Memorial Invitation Program: High School Travel to Japan

From the JTIT-L listserv:

Dear Sensei-gata,

Greetings from the Japan Foundation, Los Angeles!

We are now accepting applications for the 2014 JET Memorial Invitation Program, which will provide 32 American high school students with the opportunity to visit Japan for two weeks in July. This program was started after the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in 2011 when two Americans participating in the JET Program as assistant English language teachers lost their lives. They had a positive influence on the people and communities they served and JET-MIP was created immediately following the 2011 disaster to commemorate their work. If you are interested in submitting an application for one of your students, please see the list of important dates and the website below for information on the 2014 program:
