Scholarships

Teaching or Research Assistantship for Doctoral Programs

In an effort to ease the financial burden incurred by doctoral students, Tokyo Tech has established a Teaching and Research Assistantship ("TRA") which covers the tuition fee. Doctoral students who are enrolled and have paid the aforementioned fees may be eligible to apply for financial aid through the TRA and receive a sum equivalent to their tuition fee
