If this sounds like you, you should know about
Sasakawa Scholarship (Global Leaders Scholarship) for studying abroad.
We are looking for scholarship students who are motivated to tackle social issues but have, for various reasons, been unable to take the first step on their path to study at a university in the U.K. or the U.S. We are waiting for these people to take up the challenge.
Sasakawa Scholarship (Global Leaders Scholarship) aims to go beyond university graduation.

Sasakawa Peace Foundation
Since its establishment in 1986, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF) has conducted research and worked to implement programs seeking solutions to global issues. In 2022, SPF launched the merit-based scholarship program to support Japanese students pursuing education abroad. There are no restrictions on the student’s area of study or research topics. Our mission is to support the young people in Japan who will become the future leaders of this country, as well as of the international community.
With this scholarship program, we aim to nurture the capacity of young students who stand out with their strong desire and determination to address social as well as global issues they face themselves. We wish to offer them the opportunity to study abroad in order to broaden their horizon and deepen their knowledge in the belief that those who take ownership of the problems are the ones who find the best solutions.
For that purpose, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation intends to increase the number of students studying abroad not only from the metropolitan cities but also from rural areas where people are increasingly faced with difficult social problems arising from rapidly aging population and social disparities. We also make sure that students with disabilities will have the same opportunities for our scholarship program.
In the future, we wish to create a network of alumni who studied on our scholarship and made great achievements so that they can interact and cooperate together to make a better world for everyone.
