Undergraduate Scholarship Programs

Extensive Scholarship Programs

The Keio University School of Medicine has established extensive scholarship programs to open its doors wider to all those who aspire to pursue a career in medical sciences. This is to achieve the mission of the School of Medicine: "To practice patient-centered medicine and lead the world in medical sciences based on the spirit of independence and self-respect and jitsugaku (science)." We hope that as many young people as possible will take an interest and participate in the "jitsugaku (science)" of medicine, which is both a cutting-edge science and a field that emphasizes humanity.
