Waseda University provides a wide array of scholarship opportunities for
international students enrolled in regular programs. There are intramural
scholarship programs and extramural scholarship programs funded by governmental
organizations, private foundations, etc. Some of the extramural scholarships
require a university recommendation for application, and some can be directly
applied for. Most scholarships target students who have been officially
admitted to or already enrolled in a school. The following is a list of
major scholarships which were advertised in the past few years. (Please
note that these scholarships are not necessarily available every year and
conditions are subject to change.) Information on available scholarships
is announced to students through bulletin boards on campus.
