Are you one of these people?
We support those students through our scholarship program.
Have you given up on the idea of studying abroad?
There are students who want to study abroad to tackle social issues but have given up studying abroad for various reasons.
We want all to take the challenge, which is why we accept applications for scholarship recipients with no age or income restrictions.
Share your sense of mission, curiosity, and flexibility with us.
The Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF), established in 1986, has worked since its inception to conduct research and implement programs seeking out solutions to global challenges. In 2022, SPF launched a merit-based Scholarship Program for Japanese students wishing to pursue higher education abroad. There are no restrictions on the students' area of study or research topics.
Our mission is to support young people in Japan who will lead the future of this country as well as 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 alumnae who studied on our scholarship and made great achievements so that they can interact and cooperate together to make a better world for everyone.
