ABOUT About the Panasonic Scholarship Asia ABOUT About the Panasonic Scholarship Asia

Based on the belief that it is people who create a sustainable society, the Panasonic Scholarship was established in 1998 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Panasonic’s founding, with the aim of fostering young talent to lead Asia in the 21st century.

Support for Learning Since 1998, we have been providing support for master’s degree students primarily from eight countries and regions in Asia (Indonesia, India, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, and China) who are studying science and engineering in Japan. Starting in 2014, as a part of our community-based next-generation support, we also extended our support to students studying at local universities and vocational training schools in nine countries and regions, with the inclusion of Cambodia.

Philosophy Learning Many Scholarship alumni who have learned about Konosuke Matsushita’s management philosophy have gone on to use his approaches as guidelines to rely on throughout their lives. In line with feedback from these alumni, we provide the Philosophy Learning Program to students with an opportunity to learn the founder’s management philosophy. Through this program, we will strive to enable alumni to succeed in all aspects of their lives.
