JWLI Scholarship, launched in 2021, aims to protect human rights of women immigrants and refugees in Japan by offering equal opportunity to access to higher education with financial assistance and support services.
During our visit to Link Theory Japan in June, two JWLI Scholarship scholars nearing graduation received suits through the “Closet for Needs” program. “Closet for Needs” is a program, operated by Link Theory Japan, that provides clothing to those in need, empowering young individuals as they prepare to enter the professional world. The scholars, now ready to take their next steps with confidence, were greatly encouraged by this generous support.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Link Theory Japan for making this invaluable opportunity possible.

JWLI Ecosystem founder Atsuko Fish established the JWLI Scholarship for immigrants and refugees in Japan. The JWLI Scholarship aims to foster leaders for a diverse Japan. Its goal is beyond a university diploma. The program honors the contributions of immigrants and refugees to Japan and celebrates their unique, multi-cultural potentials and talents. These individuals will not only bring diversity to university campuses, but also play an important role in transforming Japan to be more economically competitive, innovative, and compassionate. The JWLI Scholarship is unique and offered to those who are already based in Japan. The JWLI Scholarship offers a full tuition for four years with an annual living stipend. The inaugural cohort of four will start their undergraduate studies in April 2022. Read more.
