University of Indonesia
2006 Academic Year
I. Purpose of the Scholarship
The purpose of this scholarship is designed to assist University of Indonesia students and academic staff who wish to study in a Keio University graduate level program.

VII. General Provisions
A. Provisions for the Type A Program
1. To be admitted as a degree student in a graduate school of Keio University, the recipient must pass the entrance examination conducted by the graduate school to which she/he applies.
2. Since many lectures at Keio University are in Japanese, even a scholarship recipient with a considerable level of Japanese competence is strongly urged to study Japanese for one year in the Japanese Language Program of the Center for Japanese Studies at Keio University. The year of intensive language study will both aid the student in preparation for the obligatory entrance examination and improve comprehension of lectures attended during graduate studies. Accordingly, a degree-seeking scholarship recipient is expected to devote the first year to Japanese language study and the remaining two years to specialized graduate studies.
3. A scholarship recipient with exceptional proficiency in Japanese may, of course, apply directly for regular graduate study. In this case, the applicant is obliged to learn about and meet all application procedures necessary for the entrance examination conducted by Keio.
4. When the scholarship recipient fails in the entrance examination, Keio may have to terminate his/her scholarship then.
B. Provisions for the Type B Program
1. Under this scholarship program, the final defense of the dissertation will take place at the University of Indonesia in conjunction with the faculty members of the dissertation committee of the scholarship recipient.
2. Careful coordination between the concerned faculty members of each university will have to be made to successfully carry out this program. Details of specific arrangements need to be worked out between the two universities, should the need arise.
VIII. Housing
The Keio University campus does not have dormitory facilities for students. However, the University will assume responsibility for finding appropriate housing for the first and second year Scholarship recipients. Standard rental fees will be paid by the Scholarship recipients.
