The Rotary Yoneyama Scholarship for Applicants Residing Abroad, or "Overseas Application Scholarship" for short, is carried out as special program to support overseas students in the most-difficult first years of their enrolment in Japanese universities and graduate schools. Japanese language ability is not evaluated in the application-screening process.
Persons who have held a Yoneyama scholarship in the past are not eligible for this scholarship.
Recent years have seen an increase in the number of Japanese universities that carry out a program of "pre-arrival admission approval," under which overseas students can submit application documents, take entrance examinations, and receive admission acceptance/non-acceptance notice without coming to Japan.
The Overseas Application Scholarship is carried out through linkage with universities that enroll overseas students through the pre-arrival admission system.*For your information: See the list of universities that issue "pre-arrival admission approval" here at the website of Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO).
