Fellowships in Virginia for Japanese Students

I have two openings for research assistant fellows starting in Fall 2008 or Spring 2009 for someone seeking a Ph.D. degree in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) (www.vcu.edu and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCU). I am moving from the University of Vermont to VCU and will soon be launching a new research lab, the Sensory Intelligence Lab, at VCU. My research fields include computer vision, robotics, and human-computer interaction. Recent projects: www.uvm.edu/~ymotai and www.cems.uvm.edu/~medialab.

Tsuzuki International Scholarship

Fukuoka Daiichi High School is a 50-year-old private school that is part of the Tsuzuki family of schools spread across Japan. Every year, up to 10 scholarships are awarded that pay for tuition, books, uniforms, and room and board at their dormitory. Homestays are arranged during school breaks, and students usually make excellent progress in all aspects of Japanese language.
