Keidanren to launch scholarships for students studying abroad

The Japan Business Federation said Monday it will launch scholarships next year to support students studying abroad, given that young Japanese people are said to have grown reluctant to study or work overseas.
The nation's largest business lobby, known as Keidanren, plans to provide annual scholarships of 1 million yen each to 30 students from 13 universities, including Tohoku University and Doshisha University, who will study at foreign colleges for one year on exchange programs.

The number of universities covered by the scholarships will be gradually increased.

The federation will also support their efforts to find jobs after they return home as students are often concerned that studying abroad would affect their ability to secure employment.
