You do not have to apply for the scholarship separately. When you make an application for Kyoto iUP in the Online Application System, please just select "Yes" to the question "Do you wish to be considered for this scholarship? ".

The scholarship will be paid for up to four and a half years (including the Preparatory Course period). However, each student's performance is evaluated every semester to determine the stipend amount and whether the student is still eligible to receive it.

All successful applicants will receive a scholarship if they indicate a desire to receive one when submitting the Letter of Intent to Enroll.

No, it is not. We only accept applications to Kyoto iUP through the "Online Application System". Please note that application through any other method is not acceptable. If you are an international student who are currently based overseas and wishing to attend Kyoto University on the Japanese Government (Monbukagakusho: MEXT) Scholarship, please go to this page.

Unfortunately, there are no scholarships offered by Kyoto University other than the Kyoto iUP.
