The deadline for applications is Thursday 6 December 2012. If candidates’ circumstances change (for instance, change address) after submitting an application, they must inform the Foundation in writing.

INTERVIEWS
There are three stages to the interview process. The Foundation assumes that all selected candidates will be able to attend interview at Daiwa Foundation Japan House in London during the dates indicated below. While the Foundation is unable to reimburse travel expenses for candidates to attend the first two interview stages, it will reimburse reasonable travel expenses to attend the final interview. The Foundation regrets that it is unable to reimburse any accommodation costs, should these be incurred.

STAGE 1
The preliminary selection of candidates will take place during January 2013. Candidates will be notified whether or not they are invited to a Stage 1 interview, which will take place in early or mid-February 2013 (to be confirmed).

STAGE 2
Candidates who successfully pass Stage 1 will be invited to sit a language aptitude test and attend a lunch at Daiwa Foundation Japan House in late February 2013 (to be confirmed). Candidates will be notified whether they are invited to Stage 3 interview shortly afterwards.

STAGE 3
The final shortlist of candidates will be interviewed by the Trustees in March 2013. Candidates will be notified of the final outcome soon afterwards.
