Your alumni association dues are used to fund scholarships, as well as a variety of activities to support Waseda and current students. Your support is essential to helping us accept students from a wide range of backgrounds and provide an enriching educational and research environment. The students you are supporting will go on to graduate and become supporters themselves. Our philosophy is that any support you give to your alma mater will be passed down to the next generation.

The Work & Study Abroad Pre-Consultation is an online service for Waseda University alumni and current students planning to work or study abroad. This service offers free advice from members of the Tomonkai of the destination country on the local living conditions, business environment, and other practical local information. The service will cover additional countries, cities, and regions as they become available.
