Overview
In 1995, Massey University received a generous endowment from the Sasakawa Foundation of Tokyo, now the Nippon Foundation, to fund a programme for the enhancement of Japanese Language Education and Japanese Studies in New Zealand. This programme is called the Sasakawa Fellowship Fund for Japanese Language Education. The Sasakawa Fellowship Fund offers a range of opportunities for teachers and students in New Zealand. Amongst these are scholarships for undergraduate students enrolled at a New Zealand university, who wish to spend time studying at a university in Japan and have that time credited to their New Zealand degree.
Most universities in New Zealand have formal exchange agreements with Japanese universities, which allow students to spend a year in Japan during their undergraduate studies. The Sasakawa 'Exchange in Japan' scholarships are for students travelling to Japan under one of these formal agreements, who have not been awarded a JASSO (formerly AIEJ) or similar scholarship. There are two rounds to accommodate the most common departure dates of April and October.
Applications close 28 February for Round 1 (departure around April) and 31 August for Round 2 (departure around October).
Eligible candidates
Candidates must be New Zealand citizens or hold New Zealand permanent resident status. At the time of application, candidates must be enrolled at a New Zealand tertiary institution, in an undergraduate course of study which will lead to a major in Japanese. Candidates will need to provide evidence (from the Japanese university) that they have been accepted for study and that they have not been awarded a JASSO (formerly AIEJ) scholarship. E-mail correspondence from the Japanese university direct to the Sasakawa co-ordinator is acceptable (nb: The amount of any scholarship awarded will not be able to be confirmed until after the candidate has provided evidence that a JASSO scholarship has not been awarded).
Criteria
In considering the award the selection committee shall take into account:
1. the academic record of the candidate;
2. the extent to which it is perceived the candidate will benefit from the time in Japan (as expressed in the references)
3. the candidate's expression of their future plans, in their accompanying
statement.
The Selection Committee reserves the right to enter into correspondence with referees before finalising selection.
Value and Tenure
The amount of the scholarship will depend on the strength of the application, length of the exchange and level of scholarship/grant money secured. All awards are tenable for one year. A Sasakawa Exchange in Japan scholarship may be held concurrently with any other award (eg candidates may also hold a Sasakawa Undergraduate scholarship), providing that the rules of the other awards allow this. The award will be paid in two instalments: the first soon after notification of success, the second half way through the candidate's time in Japan and after confirmation from Japan of satisfactory progress, and after receipt from the candidate of a short report and photos suitable for posting on the Sasakawa website for the benefit of future exchangees.
Applications
Candidates shall enter for the scholarship on an application form available below.
All candidates shall forward their applications to reach the Sasakawa Co-ordinator no later than 28 February (Round 1) or 31 August (Round 2).
The applications should be accompanied by (also see checklist at end of application form):
1. A statement (approximately 500 words) outlining your future plans (career objectives etc).
2. A birth certificate or other evidence of citizenship or resident status.
3. A certified copy of your academic record.
4. Certified copies of other awards and achievements.
5. Any other evidence that you judge relevant to the application.
6. Letter of confirmation from your host university in Japan.
