About this position

MEXT University Recommendation (UR) Scholarship is available through Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU) for graduate applicants only planning to study in Japan.

This is a highly competitive scholarship for outstanding international students recommended by APU to the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). Applicants must first submit an application to APU; APU then reviews the file and recommends eligible candidates to MEXT.

Funding includes full admission fee, full tuition fee, a monthly subsistence allowance of 144,000 JPY (including housing, subject to change), and economy-class travel expenses between the home country and APU at the beginning and end of the program.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must intend to study abroad in Japan from overseas, be a national of a MEXT-designated country, be born on or after April 2, 1992, and have a GPA of at least 2.30/3.00 at their most recent university. Active military personnel and civilian military staff are not eligible. Previous MEXT scholarship recipients are generally ineligible, with limited exceptions. Recipients must not receive other unapproved scholarships and must hold Student visa status in Japan.

Application window: September enrollment only. Submit the application by November 5, 2026. English proficiency test scores are required, and only tests taken on or after March 15, 2025 are considered valid.

How to apply: apply to APU first through the graduate admissions process, then wait for APU’s recommendation decision and final MEXT result notification.
