CWAJ GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP
FOR NON-JAPANESE WOMEN TO STUDY IN JAPAN (NJG)
The Non-Japanese Graduate Program supports graduate study in Japan for non-Japanese women, including LGBT+, who are enrolled in a PhD degree program at a Japanese university. The Scholarship was established in 1981 and is celebrating its 40th Anniversary in 2022. Students from over 40 countries have benefited from the NJG Program. Scholarships are awarded based on a candidate’s academic excellence, the quality and feasibility of their proposed plan of study, and their potential to contribute to society. The Scholarship does not have any restrictions on field of study or age.
