Scholarships

Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship 

Students accepted to the program will be financially supported by Monbukagakusho (MEXT) Scholarship through university recommendation. 

Although the master’s and doctoral programs are independent from each other, this scholarship will only be granted to students who will start their study at Tokyo Medical and Dental University from the master’s program and continue to complete the doctoral program. The scholarship gives a monthly stipend (147,000 Yen for master’s program students, 148,000 Yen for doctoral program students*) for two years. If Japanese government approves extension of scholarship, you can receive the scholarship for a maximum of five years (*This stipend is subject to changes by the rule of Monbukagakusyo). 

Successful applicants for the Monbukagakusho Scholarship are not requested to pay the entrance examination, admission and tuition fees during the master’s program. If you can extend the scholarship for five years, you are not requested to pay the entrance examination, admission and tuition fees for the doctor’s program during the master’s program.
