International Student-Athlete Scholarship Project(2019)
We select students from abroad to study at Japanese high schools which is a three-year scholarship programme on the TPSP (Top Performer Scholarship Program) Where they go through test screenings before they are selected. The project mainly selects students from Nigeria. We also provide support to the selected students during their study period in Japan.
Based on the requirements of students from abroad to enter Japanese high schools, we collected information on talented basketball student-athletes in Nigeria who have been screened and eventually four female basketball student-athletes were selected as the scholarship students. Following the selection process, we helped the selected student-athletes go through the procedures for studying in Japan and travel to Japan. We are currently supporting them in Japan.
