East-West Knowledge Leaders Program (EWKLP) to participants from the
Asia-Pacific region. Fujitsu Limited established the Fujitsu
Scholarship Program in 1985 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of its
founding.
The EWKLP has a three-month curriculum, which synthesizes the best
practices of both the East and West. You will sharpen your global
management knowledge and skills, and build the confidence necessary

be residing in their respective countries of citizenship (or in Hawaii
for Hawaii residents) at the time of their interview.
Selection of recipients
Final selection will be determined by Fujitsu Limited.
