-Investing in Young People Through Partnerships with NPOs-

Tokyo – Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., today announced that it is accepting applications from students for the tenth term (FY 2007) of the “Nissan-NPO Learning Scholarship Program”, an annual program under the company’s corporate citizenship activities.

Under the Learning Scholarship Program, Nissan will recruit students who seek to contribute to a nonprofit organization (NPO). Based on their internship performance, Nissan will award these students with scholarships. Nissan first launched the program in 1998 as a new initiative by partnering with NPOs. The program has been successful and this year represents the tenth term.

This program offers university and graduate students the opportunity to broaden their experience through an internship experience with leading NPOs. The support for education programs is one of the three core areas of focus for Nissan’s social contribution activities, the others being environment and humanitarian related programs.

This year’s interns will be posted to nine NPOs actively engaged in environmental protection, international cooperation and child-rearing. The internship will last between seven to eight months starting from July 2007 to February 2008. The deadline for applications is May 31, 2007. Only nine successful candidates (tentative) will be selected based on their qualifications and selection-interviews.
