The Scholarship Fund represents an important long-term activity of the Swiss Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan and the Swiss-Japanese Chamber of Commerce. The fund was established on 1st October 1988 initially supporting young Swiss to add a Year in Japan to their education. Over this time period, the scholarship fund has successfully awarded over 225 scholarships to Swiss residents that have spent a year in Japan. They are the best ambassadors of the scholarship program, contributing also today to the ongoing success of the scholarship fund.
From 2020 onwards, the scholarship fund supports as well young Japanese residents in their efforts to learn more about Switzerland, its culture, languages, social and business environments.
A Year in Switzerland
The Fund offers financial and other pertinent assistance to qualified graduates and professionals who are willing to add a “Year in Switzerland” to their education. The purpose of this commitment is for them to further improve their language skills (German, French, Italian, or Romansh) during a 3-6 months intensive language training at a local language school and to gain in-depth experience of working as an intern with Swiss colleagues for 6-9 months in Swiss or local subsidiaries of international companies.
Building Bridges
The Chambers strongly believe that such an extensive and unique learning experience of one national language of Switzerland and way of life will have lasting benefits for the participants in this program. It will enable them to help building bridges and better understanding between the two cultures. In summary, their efforts will eventually make lasting contributions towards the development of even closer economic relations and friendship between our two nations – the ultimate objective of the Chambers’ activities.

Property
The Scholarship Fund represents part of the activities and assets of the SCCIJ and SJCC. It is thus a non-profit organization and its officers will not receive financial compensation; however.
Objectives
The Swiss-Japan Scholarship Fund offers encouragement, financial and other pertinent assistance to qualified graduates, students and professionals who are willing to add a “Year in Switzerland” to their education. The emphasis of their Switzerland commitment will have to focus on
• achieving a good working level of one national language of Switzerland – both spoken and written – especially but not exclusively by attending 3-6 months’ intensive language courses at local schools
• gaining in-depth experience in working with Swiss colleagues during 6-9 months’ internships in local Swiss or international companies and institutions
• thus being better prepared for an international business career.
In a broad sense, the scholarship program is expected to contribute to the needs of Japanese, Swiss and/or international enterprises for qualified employees with “Swiss /Europe competence” as well as to a further development of bilateral trade and cultural relations between Japan and Switzerland.
Finances
The ceiling for individual grants to scholarship recipients has presently been set at CHF 10’000; subject to change should donations be drastically reduced and/or the value of the Yen vs. CHF rise beyond annual average levels experienced for the past 3 years. SCCIJ and SJCC will solicit donations from sponsors in support of its scholarship program.
Scholarships
In principle, the amount granted by the Scholarship Fund should cover discount return airfares to Switzerland, tuition and related fees for the intensive language course as well as a fair contribution towards the total living cost during the whole year in Switzerland including accommodation and commuting, etc.
In deciding the exact scholarship amount, consideration is given to the financial status of the candidate, compensation and fringe benefits received as intern as well as other income from third parties. In any case, however, the candidate is expected to share in the cost of his “Year in Switzerland”.
As a rule, payments to the grantee will be made in CHF in two equal installments, 50% during Q 1 (after arrival and opening a local bank account) and during early Q 3 of his/her Switzerland training (after having submitted a midterm report).
Additional Assistance
Whereas the Scholarship Fund assumes that applicants for a grant will make their own arrangements for accommodation, language training and internship in Switzerland, it will – upon request – provide advice and make its best efforts to assist them in their respective endeavors.
Reporting by Scholarship Recipients
The grantees undertake to submit mid and end term reports on their training, other pertinent activities and experiences during their “Year in Switzerland”. Their observations and recommendations will help the Scholarship Fund to better focus and continuously improve its assistance to new applicants. In addition, selected reports will be published on the SCCIJ and SJCC websites, for the benefit of new candidates and SCCIJ and SJCC members etc. provided writers agree. After return to Japan, there will – if possible – be a final interview and discussion with the person in charge.
