Description
The Ito Foundation for International Education Exchange awards scholarships to promote mutual understanding between Japan and other nations and to nurture people who can make a positive contribution to the world. The foundation offers a scholarship to Princeton students who intend to undertake either a master’s degree from a Japanese university or a special academic project in Japan as a research student under the supervision of a professor. Applicants indicate a preferred and alternate Japanese university where they propose to study or pursue their research project. If a project is being proposed, a likely supervisor should also be designated. It is the applicant’s responsibility to identify and to apply for admission or research affiliation to the appropriate university or research consortia in Japan. The scholarship period typically begins in the fall but may begin in the spring. It is renewable for a second year contingent on satisfactory progress.
