Thomas De Wandelaer writes: "Studying abroad can be a very complicated endeavour. There are institutional requirements, visa requirements, English (and other) testing requirements, funding arrangements, scheduling differences between universities and between countries. Fortunately, there is a large support infrastructure available to help you both at Chuo University and outside of the Faculty of Law. This project will help you understand this complex infrastructure (= Scholarships and the application process) and guide you in the self-evaluation of your academic skills, a necessary step towards a successful application. The project will result in your production of a personal statement - one of the most important application documents universities look at."
