MEXT scholarship (DRM only)

Since the DRM is supported by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), there is a quota for MEXT scholarship offered to I-CEEC students participating in the DRM. Tohoku University will recommend 4 doctoral students and 4 master students, who achieve particularly excellent examination results for the MEXT scholarship. If selected for this scholarship, they will receive 146,000 (147,000) yen monthly for the master’s and doctoral programs. This stipend may change each fiscal year. Candidates from the master’s and doctoral programs will be supported for two years and three years, respectively, as long as they maintain a certain evaluation point average during the program. They will also receive an economy-class air ticket from the International Air Port after enrolling, and another ticket upon graduation (for the return trip). They will not have to pay the admission fee and tuition. Only international students who live outside of Japan at the time of application and were born on or after April 2, 1987 are eligible.
