Japan IMF Scholarships for Asians

The Japan-IMF Scholarship Program for Asia (JISPA) was established in 1993. It is funded by the Government of Japan, administered by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and conducted at various graduate schools in Japan. Its goal is to contribute to institutional capacity building in economic policymaking to promote the sustainable growth of emerging and developing economies in Asia and the Pacific.

The partnership track of the JISPA gives Scholars the opportunity to study a specially designed graduate level course concentrating on macroeconomics at an IMF partnership university.

The open track of the JISPA provides support to scholars who wish to study graduate-level macroeconomics or a related field at either the masters or Ph.D. level at any leading university in Japan. It is targeted towards highly motivated officials who are able to identify a course of study in Japan suitable to their professional pursuits in the public sector and supportive of their future profession as an economic policymaker.
