Japanese Government Scholarships for International Research Students

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) offers scholarships to international pupils who wish to study in graduate courses at Japanese universities either as a non-degree student or student for a degree under the Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship.

Eligibility Criteria/ Scholarship Guidelines

(1) Nationality: Applicants must belong to a nation which has diplomatic relations with the Japanese government. Stateless persons can be applicants, too. Those who are Japanese nationals at the time of application are not eligible. However, applicants of dual nationality who are settled outside of Japan are eligible only if they will expatriate from Japan by the time of arrival in Japan. Screening of candidates will be made at the Japanese diplomatic mission in the country of the applicants’ nationality.

(2) Age: Applicants must be born on or after April 2, 1980.

(3) Academic Background: Applicants should be a graduate from a Japanese university or should demonstrate academic ability equal to or higher than that of a Japanese university graduate.

Note that eligible applicants include those who otherwise fulfill or will fulfill the qualification requirements for admission to a Japanese graduate school. As a general rule, a person who has completed a doctoral course may not apply unless he/she are looking to obtain a degree.

The visas should be issued at the Japanese legation, found in the country of applicants’ nationality.  Candidates who have changed their resident status to any status other than “College Student” upon arrival in Japan will immediately lose their status as a Japanese government scholarship student.
