Students Applying for Scholarships for the First Time

*This page is for Japanese nationals and foreign nationals who are permanent residents, special permanent residents, long-term residents, dependents, or child or spouse of Japanese national (permanent resident) at Hiyoshi Campus.

There are more than 100 scholarships offered by Keio University.
Depending on the scholarship which you are applying to, the application qualification, submittion period, application method, required documents, and selection method will differ.
Therefore, it is difficult to explain how to apply for each one of the scholarship. Please make sure to gather the scholarship information by yourself.
The majority of the scholarship recruitments and applications take place from April to May. Persons who wish to apply for some sort of scholarship should be careful not to miss the spring application period.
There is also online viewing data for scholarship guidance on this website. Please be sure to watch it as we will guide you through the details there.
