Joint Japan/World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program
The JJ/WBGSP provides scholarships for up to two-years to a limited number of Japanese mid-career professionals who are dedicated to the alleviation of poverty and enhanced shared prosperity in developing countries, and who have been admitted to or are currently enrolled in a master’s or PhD graduate degree program outside of Japan and in development-related fields.
After earning their degree, Japanese national scholars are expected to advance their professional career with a keen focus on the alleviation of poverty and enhanced shared prosperity in developing countries.
The 2025 application window for Japanese nationals will open from mid-February to mid-April 2025. Exact dates will be published in the fall 2024.
