About the Scholarship

The Nishimura International Scholarship Foundation offers scholarships to international students from Southeast Asia, East Asia, and other regions to help them pursue their studies and research projects. The Nishimura International Scholarship Foundation was established by the late Ikuo Nishimura, who was committed to making a difference to the lives of young people from Southeast Asia and East Asia who are pro-Japanese and able to contribute to the development of their own countries. Mr. Nishimura wanted to provide them with opportunities to learn about Japanese people, way of life, culture, history, and culinary delights. If you wish to receive financial support from the Nishimura International Scholarship Foundation during your stay in Japan, please describe your thoughts about the following topics and state your achievements or experience in a brief personal statement and send it to us together with your application documents.

• • Exchanges between your country and Japan;
  • Your interest in Japanese people, way of life, culture, history, or culinary delights
  • Your contributions to the development of your country and Japan, etc.

After you complete the program and return to your home country, we hope you will be able to consistently assist us in nurturing and developing young pro-Japanese people who can contribute to the development of their own countries. We would appreciate it if you could also describe in your personal statement your ambitions of helping young people as a member of academic staff based on your experience at Osaka University in Japan. The final selection of financial support recipients will be made by the Nishimura International Scholarship Foundation. The Foundation will consider each applicant on his/her own merits and not based on his/her personal statement.
