ADB-JSP scholarship recipients are not required to pay admission and tuition fees. Scholarship items and amounts are subject to change without notice.
Applicants should include the scholarship documents in the same envelope with their IGP (C) application for admission.
Please read this page carefully. IGP(C) Overseas and Domestic Application Guide Applicants should send the required documents to the Admission Division during the designated application period.
Any documents which are sent to the ADB-JSP coordinator or the inquiry e-mail account are NOT reviewed.
Caution Applicants from graduated member countries, i.e., Hong Kong, China, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, and Taipei,China are no longer eligible for ADB-JSP. Please check the ADB's website.
This is naturally a very important step! For example, only a national of an ADB borrowing member country is eligible for the scholarship. Another important condition is that a candidate needs to have “at least two (2) years of full-time professional working experience (acquired after a university degree) at the time of application.”
To be considered for admittance to Tokyo Tech as well as for the ADB–JSP, applicants for the ADB–JSP must first find an academic supervisor. Applicants are required to communicate directly with their intended academic supervisor at Tokyo Tech to obtain the consent of the desired faculty member to serve in this capacity. Applicants need to directly contact the intended academic supervisor via email, and provide a self-introductory statement and a letter of intent for the period of study at Tokyo Tech. Applications will not be accepted without the consent of a Tokyo Tech faculty member.
For further information on our faculty members, such as email addresses and contact information, please refer to the Tokyo Tech Star Search. Tokyo Tech Star Search (Researchers’ Database) Some academic supervisors may require the submission of additional documents before the stated deadline.
If you are eligible for the scholarship and obtain the consent of an academic supervisor, then you can apply for the International Graduate Program (C).
