Inviting Applications for the FY 2015 Kumamoto University Graduate School Doctoral Course Scholarship Program (KDS) [Quota for Privately-funded International Students(only for New students enrolled in October and prospective holders in first semester(enrolled in October,2014))]



 We have decided to establish, as part of the Kumamoto University Graduate School

2010, a “Quota for Privately-funded International Students” for international students
who are studying at their own expense at Graduate School at Kumamoto University,
and who have participated in projects which have been intensively supported for the
purpose of establishing internationally outstanding centers of excellence or in projects
that apply correspondingly. This quota will be applied to relevant privately-funded
international students who have been enrolled since May 1, 2011.
