The Scholarship
Each participant is awarded a scholarship. Until 2008/2009, the amount of the scholarship was 15,000 € for one year, but after the recent economic crisis, from 2009/2010 the scholarship will be given in Yen, and the amount has been set at 2,000,000 ¥. Starting with the 2013/2014 session, the scholarship amount has been reduced to 1,900,000 ¥. It covers the round-trip plane ticket to Japan and living expenses.
Housing is provided and financed by the hosting company for the whole duration of the programme.
The Japanese language course is also financed by the programme.
