THE PRINCE TAKAMADO VISITING STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP
Application Form
Queen’s University has lost a distinguished alumnus and good friend with the untimely passing of His Imperial Highness Prince Takamado (1954-2002). During his years at Queen’s, Prince Takamado embraced the opportunity to learn, eager to master the English language and understand Canadian culture. Upon his return to Japan, Prince Takamado strengthened his connection to Canada, becoming a patron of the Canada-Japan Society, and promoting business and cultural links between Canada and Japan. In 1992, Queen’s University awarded His Imperial Highness an honorary degree, in recognition of his major contribution to the mutual understanding and appreciation of the cultures of the peoples of Japan and Canada.
The Prince Takamado Visiting Student Scholarship at Queen’s University is awarded to a second or third-year student of Japanese nationality (citizen) who is currently enrolled in a Japanese university, and who will study at Queen’s University on a Letter of Permission from their home university. Application should be made to Admission Services by 25 March. Admission Services will forward all applications from qualified applicants to the Student Awards Office. Value: Variable – Generally between $25,000 and $30,000 (Canadian Dollars), this will include tuition, books and supplies, and basic living expenses (including room and board and one return economy flight home) based on guidelines established by Queen’s University. A guaranteed residence room in Harkness International Hall will be available to the recipient if he/she chooses on campus accommodations.
Queen’s University is honoured to join with the Canadian Embassy in Japan in establishing The Prince Takamado Visiting Student Scholarship at Queen’s University – a fitting tribute to a loyal alumnus who dedicated so much of his life to fostering a strong relationship between Canada and Japan.
