MEXT (Japanese Government Monbukagakusho) Scholarship — University Recommendation

Separate application

  • Array
  • Japanese Government scholarship. MEXT Scholarship students "are exempt from" the admission fee and tuition payment required at the admission procedures. Full coverage terms are set by MEXT and are not restated by the programme.
  • No separate application is made by the applicant at the point of admission: candidates are selected by the University after the entrance selection. "MEXT scholarship candidates who are selected via recommendation by the University after the examination, will receive a refund of the examination fee directly to their account upon enrollment." The programme FAQ warns that "the numbers of scholarships are limited, and there is no guarantee that all admitted students can receive scholarships."
  • Numbers are limited and no guarantee attaches to admission. Past records show G30-TMI entrants receiving MEXT scholarships through the University of Tokyo in several October intakes; see facts[] for the published counts.

MEXT (Japanese Government Monbukagakusho) Scholarship — Embassy Recommendation

Separate application

  • Applicants must have "passed the primary selection at the Japanese embassy in their home countries" before applying.
  • Japanese Government scholarship awarded through the Japanese embassy process. Holders are exempt from the admission fee and tuition, and candidates who have passed the embassy primary selection are exempt from the 10,000 yen examination fee. Coverage terms are set by MEXT.
  • Apply first at the Embassy of Japan in the home country; embassy primary-selection passers then apply to the course via T-cens without paying the examination fee. The Global 30 site signposts this route: "If you are interested in other programs, such as MEXT scholarship through the Japanese Embassy in your home country, please check from here."
  • Selection and quota are controlled by MEXT and the Japanese diplomatic mission, not by the Graduate School of Engineering. The programme guidelines mention this route only through the examination-fee waiver.

Submitting an application for admission fee exemption and/or tuition exemption allows applicants to defer payment of the admission fee and/or tuition until the screening results are determined."

The course page adds that "exceptional candidates will be nominated for a Japanese government scholarship."
  • "the numbers of scholarships are limited, and there is no guarantee that all admitted students can receive scholarships." G30-TMI is the only one of the three courses with a department-specific award in the published record — the SE-TMI Scholarship for Foreign Students (one recipient per intake in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019) — alongside the SE-UT Scholarship for Foreign Students, the University of Tokyo / UTokyo Fellowship and SEUT RA Type-IS. The published table ends with the October 2023 intake.

External sponsor scholarships held by past G30-TMI entrants

Their appearance in past intakes is not an offer for the 2027 intake.
Scholarships, nominations and fee exemptions are competitive unless the programme states that every admitted student receives the award. Admission on its own does not guarantee funding.
