Asian Future Leaders Scholarship Program (AFLSP)
AFLSP was established in 2014 by BXAI with the aim of providing young Asian citizens with study-abroad opportunities in East Asia, enabling them to deepen their understanding of different cultures while gaining the leadership skills needed to contribute to regional and global development.
The program currently accepts approximately 100 students each year to study at eight partner universities in Japan, China, and Hong Kong. As one of the partner universities, Kyoto University annually hosts approximately ten scholars.
