The Monbukagakusho or MEXT Scholarship is a scholarship from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan aimed at academics from outside Japan with the intention of studying in Japan. These scholarships are divided into various levels of education, from Diploma to Doctoral level. At the Diploma level there are two scholarship options, namely the Specialized Training College (Senshu) and College of Technology (Kosen) scholarships. For undergraduates there are Undergraduate (Gakubu) scholarships. Meanwhile, for Masters and Doctoral degrees, there are Research Student scholarships. Apart from that, there are non-degree scholarship programs such as the Japanese Studies scholarship for exchange students from the Japanese Studies department and Teacher Training for active Japanese language teachers in formal schools.
