Selection of Nominees for Scholarship

Once you completed the Scholarship Registration Form, your name will be on the candidate
list for a single Academic Year (starting from April to March of the next year). You must
complete the Scholarship Registration Form every Academic Year in order to stay on the list.
Whenever the WBS office receives an opportunity to nominate student(s) for a scholarship,
nominee(s) will be selected from the candidate list.

The criteria upon selection of nominee(s) could be very different depends on the scholarship provider. Possible criteria including affiliated program, age, nationality, gender, and so on; however, if the scholarship provider did not specify any criteria for selection, your academic records (upon admission, during your study at WBS, etc.) will be the main yardsticks.

If you are selected as a nominee, the WBS office will inform you through your Waseda email
with further information. You will then have to complete/prepare necessary documents
(application forms, transcripts, recommendation letter, health check report, resident status
form, photos, etc.) which are requested by the scholarship provider.

Additional Information regarding Scholarship

The procedures above are for scholarships that require nomination from the university/WBS.
Apart from those, there are also publicly offered scholarships that do not require nomination
