The Sakuko Matsui Australia-Japan Friendship Scholarships

The Sakuko Matsui Australia-Japan Friendship Scholarships is an undergraduate and postgraduate research scholarship valued at up to $8,000. It aims to support students in Japanese studies to foster cultural, linguistic and intellectual engagement between Australia and Japan. The scholarship is funded by a generous donation from Associate Professor Sakuko Matsui. Eligibility includes domestic students enrolled in undergraduate or postgraduate research degrees in Japanese studies within the School of Languages and Cultures at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, as well as international students from Japan who reside or intend to reside at the Women's College. The scholarship gives preference to domestic postgraduate research students who wish to travel to Japan as part of their research studies, and to students who can demonstrate financial need. Selection is based on academic merit, area of study and/or research proposal, personal statement, financial hardship, and detailed budget. The scholarship is paid as a one-off payment and cannot be used for another purpose.
