FINANCIAL AID
Several scholarships are available through IUJ for highly qualified non-sponsored students.
IUJ selects scholarship candidates from the pool of successful applicants.

For Japanese Applicants:
IUJ offers scholarships and a loan program for Japanese applicants. Those who would like to apply for this scholarship should fill out the “Scholarship Application for Japanese Applicants” and it should be enclosed in your application package with all other admission application documents.
For more details, please refer to the IUJ Financial Aid Guidelines for Japanese applicants.

For Non-Japanese Applicants:
IUJ grants IUJ scholarships to qualified non-Japanese applicants. All-non Japanese applicants are eligible to apply for this scholarship. Applicants can also apply for scholarship programs provided by outside organizations such as ADB (Asian Development Bank), IDB (Inter-American Development Bank), MIF (The Matsushita International Foundation) and AEON (AEON 1% Club), if they qualify for such scholarship programs. To be considered for the above mentioned scholarships, a completed Application For IUJ Scholarship for Non-Japanese Applicants should be enclosed in your application package with all other admission application documents. If you are an online application user, please apply for the scholarship online by filling out the “Scholarship” section.
For more details, please refer to the IUJ Scholarship Guidelines for Non-Japanese Applicants.

Since the number of scholarships is very limited, applicants are strongly encouraged to seek sources of funding by themselves instead of relying solely upon the possibility of obtaining a scholarship or other financial assistance through IUJ.
Financial planning is especially important for non-Japanese applicants because to obtain a visa or certificate of eligibility, they will be required to prove to the consular officer and the Japanese Ministry of Justice that they have sufficient funds to cover expenses for study in Japan, such as the university’s tuition and fees and living expenses (housing, food, clothing, etc.)
NOTES:

- Application for scholarship does not affect IUJ’s consideration of a student’s application for admission.
- If you do not submit a scholarship application, you will not be considered for a scholarship.
- Deadlines for scholarship applications are the same as admission application deadlines.

-
Candidates for IDB scholarship and MIF scholarships are selected from the pool of successful applicants from the 1st overseas intake. So those who wish to receive a scholarship either from IDB or MIF need to submit a complete application for admission, including the “Application For IUJScholarship” by the 1st application deadline.
- Priority for selection of candidates for ADB scholarships will be given to the pool of successful applicants from the 1st overseas intake. So those who wish to receive an ADB scholarship are highly recommended to submit the complete application for admission, including the �gApplication For IUJ Scholarship�h by the 1st overseas application deadline.
- Students may have chances to apply for some scholarships to cover partial living expenses after enrollmen. There no chance to apply for financial aid to cover tuition after entering IUJ.

Type Of Applicants
IUJ receives applications from two groups: Domestic Applicants (residents of Japan, regardless of nationality) and International Applicants (residents of countries other than Japan, regardless of nationality). Admissions guidelines are slightly different for domestic and international applicants.

Decision Cycles
Applications still incomplete by the closing date of each cycle will be considered in the next cycle if they are subsequently completed. Applications which are incomplete as of the final application deadline for each applicants’ group will not be evaluated.

Domestic Applicants (residents of Japan):

Master Program

Starting from the 2007 academic year, prospective candidates who have successfully passed the preliminary examination by the Japanese Embassy/Consulate are required to obtain a letter of acceptance from their potential supervisors (please see more details here)

The Graduate School of Economics, Kyoto University, offers a 2-year master program, leading to the degree MA in Economics. Teaching and supervision are conducted in Japanese. Only a limited number of courses are taught in English.

Within the master program, there are two subprograms as follows:
(1) Economics subprogram (in Japanese, “Hakase course”)
(2) Business/ Management subprogram (in Japanese, “Business Kagaku course”)

The main difference between these subprograms is that students who have successfully completed the Economics subprogram receive an automatic admission to the PhD program. Students who have successfully completed the Business subprogram and wish to be admitted to the PhD program must pass the entrance exams. Please note also that students who have successfully completed the Business subprogram receive the degree MA in Economics, not MBA.
