Application Process

If you wish to apply for Work Study you will need to physically enroll in Yamasa and then complete the Work Study Application Form. An interview will also be required. You cannot apply for work study in advance.

NOTE FROM Admissions

Before you can apply for work study you need to complete your application and enrolment procedure and be at Yamasa. It is not possible to apply for the program before you arrive at Yamasa - and you will need to pass an interview before aid is approved as work study is only available if there is a demand for your skills. If you come from a country where a guarantor is required, this means you would need to pay the tuition in full long before you know the result of the interview. For this reason you should never assume that you will definitely receive work study assistance and should always budget accordingly when planning your studies.

If you wish to apply for work study you first need to visit the International Office of the Yamasa Institute. There you will receive the following documents:

1) Work Study Application Form (in Japanese or English)

2) A letter pro forma for writing a letter addressed to "The President", "Hattori Foundation" introducing yourself and stating the reasons as to why you are requesting work study assistance. This letter must be handwritten in either Japanese or English.

In addition you will need to submit:

3) A full resume listing all of your skills.

There are no application dates or deadlines. The program is subject only to supply and demand.
