DAIWA SCHOLARSHIPS 2000

Up to seven Daiwa Scholarships, tenable in Japan for twenty months, will be awarded in April 2000 by the Trustees of the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation. The purpose of the Scholarships is to enable outstanding young UK graduates in any academic discipline, career, or performing and creative art, to acquire a lasting knowledge of Japanese life and culture, and of spoken and written Japanese. Successful candidates will take up their Scholarships in Japan in September 2000 and complete them on 30 April 2002. In addition to free language tuition and free travel to Japan, Scholars will receive grants at an annual rate of not less than 3,000,000 Japanese Yen, to cover accommodation and living costs.

Candidates must be citizens of the UK, aged twenty years or over on 1 January 2000, and have completed their first degree by the summer of 2000. Candidates already engaged in research or a career may also apply, but graduates in Japanese or candidates who already have an equivalent proficiency in Japanese will not be considered.
