Description
The MEXT Scholarship program, funded by the Japanese government, provides outstanding support for international students pursuing studies in Japan. There are two application routes: the embassy route, which involves written exams (mathematics, English, Japanese) followed by an interview, and the university route, based on direct recommendation from the institution. The scholarship fully covers tuition, provides a monthly allowance, round-trip airfare, and includes one year of Japanese language courses. Applicants may apply through the Japanese embassy (recommended) or directly through a university. Togo and West Africa are eligible, as Japan maintains an African quota. The published monthly stipend ranges from 117,000 JPY (Undergraduate) to 145,000 JPY (Doctoral). Regarding the timeline, applications typically open in April and close in May–June for the embassy route; the opening_date and deadline fields are estimated within this range and must be confirmed on the official website. The reliability of the amounts is to be confirmed. No nationality restrictions are announced.
