IUJ Scholarship Awards

IUJ Scholarship Awards are scholarships offered by International University of Japan to support successful applicants in its degree programs. Scholarships are awarded competitively at the time of admission, based on the goals of IUJ partner organizations, companies, and foundations. Applicants may receive scholarships provided by IUJ, through IUJ nominations, or via independent applications.

The guide provides a simplified list of scholarships that can be applied through IUJ for non-Japanese applicants. These options include scholarships for Master’s students (including two-year Master’s students) and some for PhD students, depending on the specific scholarship. Some scholarships are tied to designated countries or regions named in the provider list.

Selection is competitive and is done at the time of admission, based on the goals of IUJ partner organizations, companies, and foundations. Applicants may apply through IUJ for scholarships by completing the Scholarship Section during the online application process.

The duration of support is not provided for the scholarships listed in the admission table. The guide also notes that many scholarships require recipients to hold a Japan Student Visa. For scholarships available after enrollment, separate eligibility is tied to academic performance and financial need, but details for timing and length are given in a different part of the guide.
