Japanese Grant Aid for Human Resource Development Scholarship (JDS) Program

EThe JDS Program is to provide nationalities of Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Kyrgyz, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, Philippines, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan with opportunities for academic research at Japanese higher educational institutions under the Grant Aid assistance by Government of Japan. From this year, the recruitment for Sri Lanka is newly started.

EThe objective of this program is to support the respective Government in its efforts to facilitate its own plans for human resource development mainly for capacity building and institutional building, and thereby extend and enhance the bilateral relationship with Japan.

EThe JDS Program targets young government officers for public sector, researchers, and others with potential to play leadership roles in their specialties after return to each country as well as to become leaders in their homeland in the 21st century.  

EThe JDS fellows have been sent to the IRP, IDP, IPSP and MBA degrees at IUJ.  For further information on the JDS and to obtain an application, contact the JICA/JICE regional offices or your government in the relevant countries.
