Note that you will be contacted regarding anything that is incomplete or incorrect for your application to the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) at your keio.jp e-mail address.

Because all scholarships have a quota for recommendations and the numbers accepted, not all applicants will be successful in their applications. Each scholarship has a selection process, and in some cases, students are required to submit an essay or undergo an interview. The timeline from recruitment to the selection of applicants is often quite tight, so if an application is incomplete or contains errors, it may not be considered for selection.

If your documents have passed the screening and you are eligible for an interview, you will be contacted individually at your keio.jp e-mail address from the university office in charge. If you have been
selected as the candidate to be recommended after passing final screening, "Nominated" will be displayed on the Online Scholarship Application System (at this stage, the selection has not been officially decided). If you have been offically accepted as successful applicants, "Seleced" will be displayed on the Online Scholarship Application System and you can confirm the amount to be transferred. If you are not selected, "Not selected" will be displayed on the Online Scholarship Application System. The screening and decision-making process will not be disclosed.
