Eligibility

The ADB-Japan Scholarship Program (JSP) offers about 135 graduate scholarships a year for studies in economics, business and management, science and technology, and other development-related fields.

Two essential conditions are that candidates must be nationals of ADB borrowing member countries and that candidates need to have at least two years of full-time, professional work experience (after obtaining a university degree) at the time of application. Please note that volunteering or working as an intern are not considered full-time, professional work experience.

Please also check the criteria for the selection of ADB-JSP scholarship recipients on the ADB website

Application

Applicants must submit the required documents to the Admissions Division during the designated application period. Documents sent to the ADB-JSP coordinator or to the inquiry e-mail at the end of this document WILL NOT be reviewed. Applicants are required to check the “scholarship column” on the IGP(C) application form (Check List on the attached form) and prepare the ADB-JSP Information Sheet, Income Certificate, and a one-page research proposal in addition to the required IGP(C) application documents.
All completed application documents for IGP(C) and ADB-JSP must reach the Admissions Division no later than the deadline. More details on how to submit the documents are given in the IGP (C) Application Guide.

ADB-JSP application documents are available on the ADB website

Selection results of the scholarship need to be approved by the ADB after notification of admission results. Thus, notification of the scholarship award could be delayed. Applicants should keep in mind that, regardless of the department, their proposed research field and goals should be consistent with the mission and objectives of the program.
