JAPAN

MASTERS

Established in 1987 with funding from the Government of Japan, the World Bank Joint Japan Graduate Scholarship
Program has helped create an international community of highly trained professionals working in economic and
social development through financing of graduate and post-graduate studies.

To date, the Program has awarded over 5000 scholarships selected from over 65,000 applicants, disbursing over
US$200 million dollars in funding from the Japanese government.

The JJ/WBG Scholarship Program is quite unique among the hundreds of multilateral, bilateral and NGO funded
scholarship programs offered to international students. Unlike most other well- known programs it does not focus
on a specific region, group, hosting institution or country, or field of study. Except for a small funding window for
Japanese citizens, the only major restrictions are: scholars from developing countries pursue abroad graduate
studies in one of our partner or preferred university graduate programs, and upon graduation scholars return
home to contribute to the development of their country.

The World Bank administers the Scholarship Programs through the World Bank Institute (WBI).
