Gaxi Launches 'Watanabe Pipe Sports Scholarship' in Collaboration with Watanabe Pipe

Gaxi, which operates one of Japan's largest scholarship platforms, has partnered with Watanabe Pipe to design and manage the 'Watanabe Pipe Sports Scholarship,' a grant-based scholarship for third-year university students involved in sports clubs or circles. Through this initiative, Gaxi aims to support students in balancing their athletic pursuits with career preparation while creating a new model for building relationships between companies and students. Watanabe Pipe has been supporting student sports through partnerships with organizations like UNIVAS. Recognizing that third-year students often face financial and time constraints due to the overlap of athletic activities and job hunting, this scholarship provides 500,000 yen per student to alleviate these burdens. The program also includes networking opportunities to connect sports experience with professional life. Applications open on June 1, 2026.
