Scholarships
There are two types of scholarships available for international students: those that must be applied for through the university (university-recommended) and those that can be applied for individually (direct application). For university-recommended scholarships, candidates may be selected through an internal screening process. This internal screening typically places importance on academic performance and financial situation. Please note that even if you are recommended by the university, it does not guarantee that you will be awarded the scholarship. Furthermore, if you are selected for a university-recommended scholarship, you are not allowed to decline it.
In principle, if the scholarship periods overlap, concurrent application for or receipt of other university-recommended grant-type scholarships is not allowed. Regarding whether it is possible to apply for multiple grant-type scholarships, please refer to the scholarship combination table below (excluding recipients of the ABP Scholarship).
When applying for a scholarship (both university-recommended and direct application) , please contact the office of your department.
♢ Scholarship Combination Table Regarding the Possibility of Multiple Applications
* ”UR” = University-Recommended, “DA” = Direct Application
* If the scholarship provider allows concurrent receipt with other scholarships, it is indicated as “Concurrent receipt permitted”; if not, it is indicated as “Concurrent receipt not permitted.”
