35 Fully Funded Foundation scholarships for international students are listed for Japan. A full award settles tuition and pays a living allowance on top, so the place is paid for rather than discounted. The next closing date is 5 November 2026, for Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU) MEXT University Recommendation Scholarship.

Scholarships at other levels
Most of these awards come from Kanagawa University (4) and Kumamoto Gakuen University (3).
Every listing shows what the award pays, the degree level it is for, who may apply and the closing date. Read those before you start: awards that cover living costs usually ask for more paperwork, and a missed deadline cannot be appealed.
