Applicants should consider applying for scholarships prior to enrollment, such as the Japanese Government Monbukagakusho Scholarship program or other government grants in one’s home country.
Some applicants with exceptional academic records may be awarded scholarships or stipends at the recommendation of the University of Tokyo. Such opportunities will be offered at the time applicants receive notification of acceptance into the program.
The successful applicants for admission can also apply for scholarships directly from the University of Tokyo. Typically, these scholarships are only available to students who have already been accepted into a program of study at the University of Tokyo.
Other scholarships are available through private sources, which need to be applied for separately by the applicant.
