"The scholarship provided me the funds to participate in extracurricular activities during my year-long exchange at Keio University. I was able to take a week-long trip to the south of Japan in the prefecture of Kyushu, a weekend trip to Kyoto and Nara and a weekend trip to Nikko, in the north of Tokyo. I was also able to experience different cultures within Japan and try the types of food found in different prefectures. I’m very grateful for the experiences that I’ve had thanks to the Keiko Hongo Japanese scholarship."
