Scholarships (Scholarship List)

The Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies offers a comprehensive financial support,

including campus Scholarships such as the Okuma Memorial Scholarship, the Ono Azusa
Memorial Scholarship, Scholarships for Ph.D. students, and our own GSAPS
Scholarships. In addition, there are various kinds of scholarships sponsored by
organizations outside of the university such as the scholarships by the Japan Student
Services Organization (awarded to Japanese students), scholarships by private
foundations and the Tuition Reduction Scheme (covering 50%of the tuition; awarded to
privately – financed international students). Listed below are scholarships granted to
students at the Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies, in AY2018.
In principle application for scholarships is made after matriculation. However,
application for some scholarships can be made prior to matriculation. (Please refer to
the section ‘Scholarship Admissions‘.)
Graduate school recipients of ‘Category 1’ loans by the Japan Student Services
Organization, whom JASSO recognizes as having achieved particularly outstanding
results during their studies may be exempted from repaying half or the entire loan after
the borrowing period expires. In AY 2018, about 30% of the recipients of ‘Category
1’award have been granted full or partial exemption.
