 Enriching. Encouraging. Educating.

The College Women’s Association of Japan (CWAJ) is an organization for women committed to enrichment, cross-cultural exchange and friendship. Our primary service initiative is the provision of scholarships to deserving women who want to further their study either in Japan or overseas.
CWAJ has nearly 550 members from over 25 countries who take great pride in participating in this process of making a difference. Over the past five decades, CWAJ has provided scholarships and travel grants to more than 780 women for university study outside their home countries, and to visually impaired men and women from Japan. These scholarships are funded by individual and corporate donations and the proceeds from the CWAJ Print Show, an exciting fund-raising event on Tokyo’s social calendar.
CWAJ also offers cultural opportunities with their monthly, theme-based Luncheons, special interest activities and socially-interactive education circles. This environment is uniquely dynamic and allows foreign women to get the maximum out of living in Japan, and Japanese women an avenue for a rich multicultural interaction. 
You can learn more about CWAJ and our programs by attending our new member information meeting or by contacting us. We invite you to join us in the pursuit of “enriching, encouraging and educating” while having a whole lot of fun.
