The ADB Japan Scholarship Program (ADB-JSP) invites applications from top candidates worldwide to pursue master’s degrees at premier institutions in the Asia and Pacific Region, including the University of Tokyo. This fully funded scholarship, established in 1988 by the Government of Japan in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank (ADB), aims to uplift students from ADB member countries and promote studies in economics, science, and environment-related fields.

The scholarship allows students to study at the University of Tokyo without incurring tuition fees, covering living expenses, housing, books, instructional materials, medical insurance, and travel costs. Scholars are expected to return to their home countries upon graduation to contribute to their nation's development and sustainability.

The University of Tokyo, a diverse institution with approximately 4,200 international students, has produced numerous notable figures, including prime ministers, Nobel laureates, astronauts, and a field medalist. This makes it an attractive destination for ADB scholars aiming for excellence.
