MEXT grants and scholarships

MEXT grants and scholarships are financial assistance programs offered by the Japanese government to support international students studying in Japan. Administered by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), these scholarships cover tuition fees, living expenses, and travel costs, allowing students to pursue undergraduate, graduate, or research studies. Recipients are selected based on academic merit and are expected to engage in cultural exchange, fostering international understanding. This initiative aims to promote global education and strengthen ties between Japan and other countries.
