University of Tsukuba financial scholarship for international students to study in Japan (Fully Funded)

The University calls for additional recruitment in April for application for privately-financed international students who wish to receive scholarships through university recommendation for the 2020-21 academic year (ex. Monbukagakusho Honors Scholarship and other private scholarships).

The University collectively calls for applicants for next year’s scholarships through university-recommendation once a year in July of the previous year, however, this is an additional recruitment exclusively for new students who were admitted and students who were taking a leave of absence in last July. The above-mentioned students are strongly encouraged to apply this time after carefully reading the Application Guide.

Please note that the number of the scholarships is limited; therefore, all the applicants will not be necessarily recommended to the scholarship foundations. Moreover, even if an applicant is recommended, there is no guarantee that the applicant will be accepted by the scholarship foundation.
