Scholarship Snapshot

• Status: The Okuma Memorial Scholarship is not defunct - it remains an active Waseda-wide award (Bachelor's through Doctoral level, per Japan's official Study in Japan portal), but it is administered per school/faculty (e.g., School/Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies) rather than via one central listing page; no single current-cycle page covering all faculties was found in this pass. Confirm current-cycle details for your target school with Waseda's Scholarships and Financial Assistance Section.
• Official Portal: The Okuma Memorial Scholarship is listed per school/faculty rather than on one central page - search each school's admissions/scholarship page for "Okuma Memorial Scholarship [School] [Year]" (e.g. the Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies scholarship list), or start from Waseda's general Scholarships & Student Support site and confirm Okuma-specific details with the scholarship office: Waseda scholarships (EN). The legacy link at https://www.waseda.jp/inst/scholarships/en/other/ currently returns 404.
• Who It Targets: Historically aimed at high-achieving international undergraduates/postgraduates at Waseda - confirm current levels and disciplines with the office.
• Eligibility: Not published on an accessible page; ask about academic thresholds, financial-need criteria, and language requirements.
• Tenable Institution: Waseda University (Tokyo, Japan)
• Bond: None (merit/need-based award) - confirm current obligations or service expectations if any.
