You’ve likely already heard of the renowned MEXT and JASSO scholarships (you can read more about them here). But what about scholarships offered directly by the universities themselves?

Come along as we learn about what scholarships in Japan can offer and how you can apply for them. Whether you’re interested in science, humanities, engineering, or the arts, there’s a scholarship that can help you achieve your academic goals.

Certain Japanese universities offer scholarships specifically tailored to students to support their studies and living abroad experience. The coverage of scholarships can vary depending on the specific scholarship program and university.

However, here are 6 key areas that scholarships may cover:

It’s important for students to carefully review the details of each scholarship program to understand what expenses are covered and any additional benefits or requirements. Additionally, the availability and coverage of scholarships may vary from year to year, but there is no harm in applying!
