CWAJ GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP FOR
THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED TO STUDY ABROAD (SVI-SA)
The Scholarship for the Visually Impaired to Study Abroad supports visually impaired people, including LGBT+, who are Japanese nationals or special permanent residents for graduate English-based study abroad. The SVI Program was established in 1978 and was the first scholarship designated for visually impaired students in Japan. 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.
One Scholarship of ¥3.0 Million
