Successful candidates live with a host family for a year and attend the local secondary school.
They travel out in March and return in January the following year. This programme also aims to promote further post-war reconciliation. Grandchildren of former prisoners of war or civil internees of sixth-form age are encouraged to apply for the scholarships. To apply, students are invited to write a 500 word essay outlining why they want to take part in the programme and how they feel they will benefit from it. Fluency in Japanese is not a requirement but candidates will be expected to have started learning before departure.
