Through the “Japan-Ukraine University Pathways” framework, we will offer admission to up to five students who have fled Ukraine as evacuees (避難学生) for September enrollment in the 2022 academic year. 

Number of Students: Maximum of 5 students

Students will first be admitted as non-degree students. Waseda plans to admit students as regular students after they have passed the university entrance exam.

1. Travel Support: Cost of travel to Japan
2. Living Expenses Support: 70,000 yen per month
3. Accommodations Support: Waseda University student dormitory fee waiver
4. Academic Fees Support: Total fee waiver 

Waseda will continue to implement programs going forward in order to provide support for those who have been affected by the crisis in Ukraine and are facing challenges maintaining their studies or research. The University has also set up a donation fund to help provide various types of support for students affected by natural and other disasters, including support for evacuee students from Ukraine.
