Japan-IMF Scholarship Program for Advanced Studies 2017-2019

The Japan-IMF Scholarship Program for Advanced Studies (JISP) is financed by the government of Japan and administered by the IMF’s Institute for Capacity Development with assistance from the Institute of International Education (IIE) and International Education Blueprint (IEB) in Japan. JISP’s goal is supporting Japanese scholars during their doctoral studies in macroeconomics and helping them become applied macroeconomists at the IMF. The JISP scholarship grant covers two years of doctoral studies in macroeconomics at universities located outside Japan. JISP covers all reasonable expenses for two years of graduate study including full university tuition, medical insurance, selected travel expenses, annual book allowance, and a monthly stipend. Applications are open to Japanese citizens who are Ph.D. candidates studying at, or applying to a doctoral program in macroeconomics at a university outside of Japan, and who have the ability to obtain a Ph.D. by age 34.
