Scholarships for higher education<\/strong><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

As of 2022, the percentage of people with refugee backgrounds who go on to higher education is 6% worldwide, which is significantly lower than the general youth population. Within the framework of the SDGs, efforts are underway in many countries to achieve 15% by 2030. The Toshizo Watanabe International Scholarship<\/strong> was established in 2021 with a donation from Mr. Toshizo Watanabe to support young people who have gone through the difficult experience of becoming refugees, but who continue to study and to contribute to society in the future by helping them to continue their higher education. In particular, the program is unique in that it targets refugees and displaced persons with limited-time status of residence, such as studying abroad or designated activities etc., who have conventionally had limited opportunities to apply for scholarships in Japan.The program provides full scholarships (up to a maximum amount) to support tuition and living expenses without repayment, enabling refugee youth to enter educational institutions at all levels, from junior college to undergraduate and graduate school, in a variety of specialized fields of their own choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
