DD international students can only receive the award during the period enrolled at a Keio University graduate school and while taking the degree program at that graduate school.

Selection Process:

Each Graduate School performs a primary screening of applicants and nominates candidates to the Scholarship Committee. This committee then conducts a review of documents and conducts interviews for the final selection.
