World Scholarship Organization (WSO)

World Scholarship Organization (WSO) is a charitable organization

which was founded by a group of Japanese expatriates in Sydney

in 2014 for the purpose of providing free scholarships

for vocational training to underprivileged youth in the developing countries.

Our scholarships are funded by our wide-ranging of fund-raising activities as well as donations.

Free Scholarships

WSO provides free scholarships for vocational training to underprivileged youth in the developing countries.

Min Admin Expenses

We aim at keeping our administration expenses at less than 15% of the total fund raised so that as much fund could be used for scholarships as possible.

Long - Term Vision

We have a long-term vision to aim at mitigating poverty in the developing countries in ten to twenty years of time.
