Eligibility CriteriaHave to be graduate school students

Have to be Japanese students or international students whose status of residence is "Permanent resident," "Statutory
Special Permanent resident," "Long-term resident," "Dependent," or "Child or spouse of Japanese national (permanent
resident)."*Applicants with "Dependent" status of residence may apply for internal scholarships that are awarded for one academic year as well as
JASSO's scholarship loans if they meet the application requirements.

Important Notes•

As a general rule, students on a temporary leave of absence or those who have been suspended cannot apply.

•

There are limited scholarships available for students who have repeated a year or been studying abroad. (This does notinclude students who were on a temporary leave of absence.)*To all students who have been selected by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)
Those who have been recruited under the JSPS Research Fellowship for Young Scientists may be restricted fromreceiving similar funds such as fellowships and scholarships from sources other than JSPS during the recruitment period.
When applying for a scholarship, be sure to thoroughly check the application guidelines for the scholarship and theconditions outlined by JSPS.
*To all students who have been selected for the JST Doctoral Program Student Support Project (JST)Some scholarships may restrict application from those who will apply for the JST Doctoral Program Student Support
Project. Also, during the recruitment period of the JST Doctoral Program Student Support Project, the project may
restrict combining or receiving other scholarships and prohibit combining scholarships deemed as support of living
expenses. When applying for a scholarship, be sure to thoroughly check the application guidelines for the scholarship andthe conditions outlined by JST.

Recruitment Period
Most recruitment and applications for scholarships will take place between April and May. Additional recruitment will also
take place outside this period, but the number is limited. Furthermore, the application schedules differ by campus. If you plan
to apply for scholarships, please take careful note of the application period.
Selection Criteria
Each scholarship emphasizes different criteria such as financial need, academic ability, or both. Depending on the scholarship,
there may also be an interview or you may be required to submit an essay, etc.
Academic Criteria
Scholarships with academic ability criteria will be screened based on the submitted grade-related documents (cf. p. 235). For the internal scholarships and scholarships from private organizations and local governments, some may require
the submission of a research plan and research achievements. Screening will be made comprehensively upon thesubmitted documents.
Financial Criteria＜Internal Scholarships and Scholarships offered by private organizations and local governments＞
For scholarships with household finance criteria, screening will be made based on income and accredited income calculated onfamily composition, form of commute, tuition, etc. The total income of both parents will be used as the standard. (In the caseof a single-parent household, the income of the mother or father will be considered. In other cases, screening will be based on
the income of the person supporting the household in place of the parents.) If you can prove that you are an individual living
independently, the total income of you and, if applicable of your spouse, will be considered as the standard. To be recognized
as an individual living independently, you have to meet certain conditions (cf. p. 24). If the scholarship providers have theirown household finance criteria, these will take precedence; however, if no particular details are provided but there is an entry
stating that household finances will be considered in the application eligibility, then in general, the Japan Student Services
Organization (JASSO) undergraduate category 1 household finance criteria will be followed. The following model case should
only be referred to as a guide.
