Scholarships in Japan

The Project for Human Resource Development Scholarship by Japanese Grant Aid (JDS) (former Japanese Grant Aid for Human Resource Development Scholarship (JDS)) is to support human resource development of the Japanese grant aid recipient countries.

Purpose of the Funding: Research grant-in-aid (from herein “grant-in-aid”) will be awarded to outstanding, self-financed overseas students so they may be able to focus on their academic research, with the aim of promoting the enrolment of overseas students.

We invite people from Asian countries and others to Japan through Sakura Science Plan in a collaboration of industry-academia-government, to introduce and offer experience in Japanese science and technology.

Upon the concept of the founder of the Matsumae International Foundation (MIF), “Towards A Greater Understanding of Japan and a Lasting World Peace”, MIF has started the Research Fellowship Program in 1980.  “2025 Research Fellowship Program” has been officially released.

In this program, a scholarship grant is awarded to foreign students specializing in the field of natural science while studying at a graduate school in Japan.

The Special Scholarship Program (SSP) was established in 2003 in order to support the development of advanced research at the university through the contribution of highly capable doctoral students. Through the 3-year curriculum, Kochi University of Technology (KUT) provides comprehensive education in the multidisciplinary environment.

The Daiwa Scholarship is a unique 19-month programme of language study, work placement and homestay in Japan, following a month of Japanese language tuition in the UK
