The scholarship will be paid in quarterly bank account after getting the confirmation of registration and will be granted as of April/October 2014 until March/September 2019. The registration deadline is April 30 for entering October.
In addition, the University of Tokyo offers international students other types of financial aid such as school fees waivers, scholarships, emergency loans and discounts for students.
