The Western Australian Japanese Studies Scholarship
The Western Australian/Hyogo Prefecture
Japanese Studies Scholarship
Study in Japan in 2009

Deadline: MONDAY 28 JULY 2008
The Department of Education Services administers two Western Australian Government
scholarships: The Western Australian Japanese Studies Scholarship; and The Western
Australian/Hyogo Prefecture Japanese Studies Scholarship. These most prestigious and wellfunded
scholarships are awarded annually and the winners are expected to study in Japan in the
following academic year which commences in April. The scholarships have been sponsored by
the Western Australian Government for over thirty years.
The scholarships aim to provide promising students or graduates, who have a knowledge of the
Japanese language, with the opportunity to study at a university in Japan. The scholarships may
be used to progress relevant undergraduate or postgraduate studies including appropriate
research that forms part of a postgraduate degree in which the student is or will be formally
enrolled at one of the Western Australian public universities.
Though academic achievement is regarded very highly, the scholarships are not awarded on
academic merit alone, nor are the financial circumstances of the candidates taken into
consideration. Following an initial Japanese language proficiency test, short listed applicants will
be asked to discuss their proposed study program in Japan with a selection committee. The
committee will expect the candidates to have a well developed study plan and provide an
indication of how they expect their experience in Japan will benefit the Western Australian
community on their return.
At the end of the period of study in Japan it is expected that the scholarship recipients will have
achieved the following objectives:
• developed considerable fluency in the Japanese language;
• built a broad knowledge of the specified field or discipline in the Japanese context; and
• established a range of academic or professional contacts in the specified field or discipline.
It is a goal of the Western Australian Government that scholarship recipients will help to strengthen
professional ties between Japan and Western Australia.
To maximise your chances of securing a scholarship your are encouraged to apply for both
scholarships and select an institution and study plan that will suit both scenarios.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Applicants must meet the following eligibility criteria:
1. have Australian citizenship, or evidence that Australian Citizenship status will be approved prior
to departure for Japan;
2. a) be a student of a higher education institution in Western Australia, or an institution of
equivalent standing, and have completed at least two years of full-time study (or equivalent
of part-time study) in an appropriate Japanese language course;
or
b) be a graduate from a university, having a reasonable command of the Japanese language
and developed an interest in Japan through employment or further studies; and
3. be planning to attend a university or college of higher education in Japan in the 2009 academic
year.
