Japanese Government (Monkasho) Scholarships

Japanese Government (Monkasho) Scholarship students must sign an Enrollment Checklist (zaiseki-kakuninbo) each month in order to receive payment of the scholarship. Please sign at your gakumu team office at the beginning of each month. The scholarship money will be deposited in the account you have designated around the 20th of each month, but the payments in April and October are often late because it takes time to process the bank account information. Postal savings accounts are required. If you do not sign you will not receive the payment for that month.

Procedure for Extension

If a Monkasho Scholarship student wishes to extend the term of the scholarship, he or she can apply for an extension with the recommendation of his or her supervisor. Application should be made approximately four months before the end of the scholarship term at your Gakumu Team office.
Extension is not permitted for teacher trainees, students under the Japanese University Recommendation Program who intend to study at another university or research students who intend to remain research students after applying for an extension.
Monkasho will decide whether or not to extend the scholarship term based on an examination of the submitted documents.

Acceptance of Privately-funded Students within Japan

Each year privately-funded international students (excluding those who are already granted a scholarship from a foreign government) are accepted as Monkasho Scholarship students under the “acceptance within the country” program. Recruitment of such students usually takes place from late December to early January. If you are interested, please inquire at your Gakumu Team office at that time.

Those eligible:
  1. Those enrolled or plan to be enrolled as graduate students (master's course or doctoral course) or
  2. Those who are going to be in their last year of the undergraduate course.
  3. Those under 35 years old.
