This is not a school, this is a scholarship program, that will help students who applied for studies in a japanese university/school.
yeah and I am sorry I have two questions please;
1) Do applicants for Bachelor degrees allowed to apply for that program?
2) You should have to apply for the university separately or you can apply for the program and they can plan your university?
Please.

Are the programs strictly for 35 years and below. I would like to do a master’s degree in science
Dear Janet, it seems so:
“to be eligible, the student applying for the PhD program must start the PhD course by the age of 35.
Student applying for the master’s program must start the master course by the age of 30.”
So if you wish to apply for the master, you should be max. 30 y.o.

Hi thank you for the information, noted that the date has passed. I only need to confirm for future application. The website for Honjo ISF has not stated if the amount is given as a lumpsum for everything. Does it mean that the tuition and accommodation fees are not covered separately (like the one in MEXT)?
