The MJS Centre was established in October 1995. It was funded by the Nippon Foundation Fund for Japanese Language Education (NF-JLEP), in cooperation with:

  • the Nippon Foundation (endowment donor of US$1.5 million)
  • the Tokyo Foundation for Policy Research (NF-JLEP Association secretariat).

The endowment came to Macquarie in recognition of contributions and achievements in the field of teaching advancement in Japanese language and culture, and in Japanese teacher education. All grant recipients will be given a lifetime membership of NF-JLEP Fellows.
