Japanese Government Scholarship (Embassy Recommendation)  Should be Applied Before Enrollment
  • In this type of scholarship, scholarship recipients are recruited and initially screened by an Japanese embassy (or consulate general, depending on the country).
    To be eligible as a scholarship recipient, applicants need to take examinations.
    (Once accepted as a scholarship recipient, there is no need to take another entrance examination of UT.)

    Because the application process differs according to the country in which the Japanese embassy is located, please inquire at the Japanese embassy or consulate general in your country for details.
