Some Japanese scholarships need to be applied for through the enrolled university in Japan (University Recommendation) while others can be applied for directly by the applicants (Individual Application).
The University of Tsukuba administers scholarships to foreign international students under 3 groups: the Japanese Government (Monbukagakusho: MEXT) scholarship (both undergraduate and postgraduate), University Recommendation Scholarships AND Individual Application Scholarships.
Please note that the period of applications and qualifications etc are subject to change. Also note that only few scholarship foundations invite applications before the students’ enrollment in Japanese universities.

If you receive a scholarship through individual application, you are ineligible for scholarship through university recommendation because you cannot simultaneously receive two scholarships.
For complete list of scholarships through individual application, please refer to the "Scholarships" page of the "International Students' Guidebook".
Scholarships through individual application are announced every year on the bulletin boards at respective academic service office or at ISC. Every year scholarship openings from around 20 scholarships foundations are announced as soon as they become available. See the Scholarship News Archive.
University Recommendation Scholarships
For the complete list of scholarships that necessitates university recommendation, see the "Scholarships" page of the "International Students' Guidebook". Self-supporting students can apply for a scholarship through university recommendation only once a year. Note the following:- Students who wish to receive this type of scholarship and who meet all the requirements should complete the prescribed application form in July (see Note below) and submit it to the dean of the educational organization (college/graduate course) they are enrolled in.
- The application will be examined by the respective educational organization and, if accepted, it will be given a recommendation ranking and will be recommended further to the President of the university.
- Upon receiving application announcements from the various scholarship foundations, a selection committee in the International Student Center selets student for recommendation among the candidates nominated by each educational organization of the university according to the ranking received by such students.
- Selected candidates will be informed about the procedure required in order to submit their applications to the respective scholarship foundations by the president of the university through the dean of their educational orginization.
- The selected candidates will then submit all the required documents, through the dean of their educational organization, to the President of the university.
- The President of the university will recommend the selected candidates to the scholarship foundations.
An additional recruitment for scholarship applications is organized the following year in April, for degree-students who enrolled in September or October, for research students who enrolled in October or December, and for regular students and research students who enrolled the following year in April. Students who have already applied at our university at the time of the July recruitment cannot apply during this additional recruitment. (Students who were not able to apply due to a live of absence from the university, but who will re-enroll the following academic year, may apply.)
The University of Tsukuba, one of the oldest national Japanese universities, is located in the city of Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture in the Kantō region of Japan.
