KU-DIKTI Scholarship Program

Mekong 1000 Project

Mekong 1000 Program: For Admission in October 2019

　　　Kanazawa University has concluded a Memorandum of Understanding with Mekong 1000 Office (Can Tho University) on accepting students through Mekong 1000 Project. This is a unique program which offers fee waiver, simplified application and selection process, and other services.


 

　　　The application is open to the scholarship candidates of Mekong 1000 Project. The program targets those who wish to pursue a Master’s or Doctoral degree at KU. The program runs for 24, 36, or 48 months, depending on the desired degree and the field of study. Applicants will be selected and matched with academic supervisor by the graduate schools at KU, then undergo the final selection by the academic supervisor. Upon successfully completing all processes, applicants will be admitted to KU as graduate students sponsored by Mekong 1000 scholarship.


 

　　　We are sure that the postgraduate study at KU will stimulate your academic ability and expand your horizons. We look forward to receiving your application and hope to welcome you to our beautiful university.

We will schedule and arrange the Call for Application for April 2020 in the months to come. This website will be updated accordingly at that time.
