If the application form you sent has been accepted by the university, the screening status will be indicated as "Screening" on the "Confirm scholarship applications and status for receipt of scholarship payments" screen on the Online Scholarship Application System. If the documents are not indicated as "Screening" despite a number of days having passed since submission and there is no contact from the university office in charge via the Online Scholarship Application System, please inquire to the Scholarships and Financial Assistance Group at the Office of Student Services, Mita Campus.
If you have applied by post, please wait five business days from arrival of the package at the university after ensuring to confirm the delivery status with the delivery company.

*About the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) scholarships and the government's "New Study Support System for Higher Education"
Your selection status for JASSO scholarships and the government's "New Study Support System for Higher Education" will not be shown on the Online Scholarship Application System. After submitting the application documents, the documents that are required for the main application to JASSO will be returned to you by the university. If you do not receive these documents a week after submission and you have not received a message to your keio.jp e-mail address, please contact the Scholarship and Financial Assistance Group at the Office of Student Services on Mita Campus.

*Resubmission or correction of incomplete or incorrect documents
If there are missing or incomplete application documents, the section in charge at the university office will indicate that resubmission or correction is required via the Online Scholarship Application System (there will be no e-mail notification of missing or incomplete documents.) Please follow the instructions and resubmit or correct any incomplete or incorrect documents. If the missing or incomplete status remains unresolved, please confirm carefully on the Online Scholarship Application System following application as such applications will be at a disadvantage for the screening.

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.

The stipend will be transferred to the student recipients' bank account if screening is passed. Some scholarships will require the students to carry out the prescribed procedures after the results are announced. Please follow the instructions that are provided.

If the scholarship recipient repeats the previous year, takes a leave of absence, studies abroad, or withdraws from the university, the provision of the scholarship or loan may be terminated, or part of the stipend already received may have to be returned. If any of the above cases apply, the student must swiftly report this to the scholarship section on their campus and follow the prescribed procedures.

You can view the PDF of the "Scholarship Information Guidebook" (faculty/graduate school editions) from the below link.
In addition, you can download the prescribed forms needed for applications. Please print and use these as the application documents after downloading the files.
