Monbukagakusho （MEXT） Scholarships
(Scholarships of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology）
There are two different types of governmental scholarships provided by Monbukagakusho. Please note that selection procedures and requirements are different.
Recommendation by a Japanese Embassy
Diplomatic establishments of the Japanese Government in foreign countries select candidates for the scholarship by the results of three tests: screening test, written test, and an in terview. Then, they are recommended to Monbukagakusho, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology. Finally, Monbukagakusho selects candidates for the scholarship.
For more details, please contact the Japanese diplomatic office abroad nearest to you.
Recommendation by the University
This is a program that we select and nominate new students from abroad as candidates for the scholarship.
Foreign graduate students with excellent academic records can be selected as candidates for the scholarship on the basis of exchange agreements made between foreign universities and Tokushima University.
After Tokushima University recommends candidates to Monbukagakusho, Monbukagakusho finally selects the recipients of the scholarship.
