Overview

The Todai Fellowship is financial support for international students enrolling in doctoral courses at The University of Tokyo. Applicants must apply for the fellowship at the same time as submitting an application for the entrance examination for the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences (GSFS). The stipend amount is fixed as listed under Stipend.

It is aimed at applicants applying for admission to a doctoral course of the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences and who hold a valid visa to stay in Japan as a “College Student” as of enrollment. It also applies to those who are not applying for and/or planning to apply for fellowships or scholarships provided by private organizations.

GSFS screens applicants for the fellowship based on its entrance examination process. Fellowship results from GSFS are notified to applicants after the entrance examination results are announced. Nominees selected by GSFS then undergo a final screening by the Division of Global Campus Initiatives, and official results are notified in the month of enrollment.
