The Wado Kai Student Development Fund offers two annual scholarships of $500 each. All qualifying secondary students in Canada are eligible for selection.

To qualify for selection the following criteria must be met:

1. The applicant must be involved in the Shintani Wado Kai Karate Federation. If the applicant is a parent or guardian of the student, the application will be judged on the parent’s or guardian’s accomplishments in the Shintani Wado Kai Karate Federation and their Sensei’s recommendation as well as the student’s admission grades.
2. The student must be applying to a post-secondary institution such as university, technological institute, teacher’s college, nursing school etc.
3. The student’s level of education must be sufficient to allow admittance to the post-secondary institution. Proof of acceptance into the institute will be required before the scholarship is released.
4. All sections of the application must be fully completed and received at the address shown on the application by midnight June 30th.

All applications are judged on three equally weighted categories:

     • Academic accomplishments
