About This Opportunity

The Mitsui Educational Foundation (MEF) was established in 1971 to build stronger ties and promote mutual understanding and friendship between Japan and Australia. The foundation offers an annual study tour to Japan that introduces Australian students to Japanese culture, history, business, industry, and contemporary lifestyles. The 2025 program will be held from November 18 to December 9, featuring a 21-day study tour that takes Australian university students through various regions of Japan. The tour provides opportunities to learn about Japanese culture, society, business and industry, as well as participate in a number of people-to-people exchanges. All airfares, transport, meals and accommodation are provided by the foundation. Participants will become automatic members of the MEF Alumni Association, which has chapters in each state and territory of Australia. This scholarship opportunity is specifically for Curtin University students to be nominated for the MEF study tour.
