Rotary Yoneyama Scholarship.
Japan’s largest private scholarship organization, both in terms of program scale and the number of scholarships awarded, supported by the contributions of Rotarians throughout Japan proudly supporting overseas student’s study in Japan. The program is for overseas students scheduled to enroll in a Japanese university/graduate school.
[vc_text_separator title=” More Details ” title_align=”separator_align_left” color=”green” border_width=”2″]
The Rotary Yoneyama Memorial Scholarship Foundation supports international students in achieving high academic achievements, and also at the same time teaches the spirit of Rotary through exchanges with counselors. The purpose of this is to deepen mutual international understanding and develop bonds to grow into a bridge between the student’s mother country and Japan. The scholarship qualifications, therefore, require enthusiasm and excellence in academic work, cross-cultural understanding, and communication skills. This system
provides both financial and personal support (through counseling offered by Rotary members) to the awardees upon their arrival in Japan.
