Newly launched Studentship.jp (Studentship), a scholarship information portal allows speedy searches of applicable scholarship
Three companies, namely Renaissance Academy Corporation (Head Office: Tokyo, Japan / Representative Director: Takayoshi Momoi), Shingakukai Educational Corporation (Head Office: Nagano, Japan / President: Masaaki Ichikawa), and Castalia Co. Ltd. (Head Office: Tokyo, Japan / Representative Director: Satoshi Yamawaki) joined forces to launch "Studentship.jp" (Name: Studentship / http://studentship.jp), a scholarship information portal on June 1.
Studentship is a scholarship information portal where people, such as high school students who wish to go on to university, those preparing for university entrance examinations, and active university students, can search for scholarships applicable to their requirements by simply entering their brief profiles.
Conventionally, people who wish to obtain scholarship should consult their school's student affairs office or contact each scholarship provider to retrieve information materials. Moreover, the requirements to obtain scholarship depend on each program; such information is often hard to find unless you read the actual printed information document. At the same time, efficient searches on the web has been very difficult and aspiring scholars go through a lot of troubles and spend much time already, just to apply for the scholarship.
By simply entering brief information such as age, hometown, and GPAs, Studentship allows the aspiring scholar to automatically select applicable scholarship programs from its database. Being the system that both aspiring scholars and scholarship providers can use free of charges, it does not only save the aspiring scholar's time but also hopefully reduce the burdens of scholarship managers at each school.
In the future, Studentship will enhance its functions as needed. We will cater to the needs of the times as well as the facilitation of information gathering, to offer comprehensive services and eventually totally digitalize scholarship searches.
