FAQ

I use English everyday in my work and have no problem with communication. Do I still need to submit an English proficiency test score?

We need an objective evaluation of your English proficiency, so unless you meet the exemption requirements, you will need to submit your English proficiency test score.

Will my application be accepted if I submit my English proficiency test score after I pass the selection process?

To assess many applicants fairly, all applicants need to submit all their documents including the English proficiency test score at the time of application.

Does my country of citizenship (or the country where I graduated from university) exempt me from the test score requirement?

Only applicants from countries where English is the official language and English is used in daily life are exempt. Currently, we only accept the following countries for exemption: United States, Australia, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada, and Singapore.

The language of instruction in all my university courses was English. Do I still need to submit an English proficiency test score?

If the university is not in the countries listed as exempt, we will need your English proficiency test score, even though the language of instruction was English.

Can I submit a photocopy of my transcript, the one given to me at graduation?

Photocopies are not acceptable. Your official transcript must be sent directly from all academic institutions attended to the Fujitsu Hawaii Representative Office.

My university will not reissue or mail my transcript. What are my other options?

As an exception, we accept an original transcript not mailed directly from the university only if the transcript satisfies the following condition (1) or (2):

Can I receive the Fujitsu Scholarship to study for an MBA?

Unfortunately, the Fujitsu Scholarship currently applies only to the EWKLP.

I have only two years of work experience. Can I apply?

The applicable program is the EWKLP, which is aimed at working adults contributing to society and therefore requires at least three years of work experience.

What does “relevant full-time work experience” mean?

This refers to the form of work, but even if you are a non-regular employee, you can still apply provided that you have at least three years of full-time work experience.

I will have three years of work experience by the time the EWKLP starts. Can I apply?

You need to have at least three years of work experience at the time of application.

I currently work for a government-affiliated organization. Can I apply?

Yes, you can. There are no restrictions on the type of business or industry.

Although my Bachelor’s GPA is less than 3.0, my Master’s GPA is at least 3.0. Can I apply?

We have a comprehensive evaluation process, so you can apply provided that your academic performance as a graduate student satisfies the requirements.

I see that the required GPA is 3.0 out of a maximum of 4.0. The maximum score in my university is not 4.0, so I don’t know whether my GPA satisfies the admission requirements.

GPA conversion is handled on an individual basis. Please send the details to Fujitsu Scholarship Program Office (contact-scholarship@cs.jp.fujitsu.com).

My country is not listed among the qualifying countries. Can anyone in my country apply?

The Fujitsu Scholarship program is not intended simply to provide funds to individuals but to develop personnel who will be able to contribute to advances in the Asia Pacific region. Accordingly, the program applies to only countries that have a Fujitsu affiliated office so that we can follow up with graduates of the program.

My country of citizenship is a qualifying country, but I currently reside in another country. Can I apply?

Yes, you can. However, note that the interview in the second step of the selection process must be held in your country of citizenship. (Transportation costs are at your own expense.)

Can I apply even if I received another scholarship in the past?

Yes, you can unless you received that scholarship from Fujitsu.

I graduated with a degree completely unrelated to business. Can I apply?

Yes, you can. There are no restrictions on the type of degree.

Is there an age limit?

There is no upper or lower age limit. The only age-related requirements are graduation from a four-year university and at least three years of work experience.

Is any job assistance service available after I finish the program?

Unfortunately, the Fujitsu Scholarship does not provide such a service.

Will I be getting a job at Fujitsu after I finish the program?

Unfortunately, the Fujitsu Scholarship has no such system in place.
