When there are several students from your university interested in applying to YSEP, we ask your
cooperation in prescreening and selecting the applicants you wish to nominate, before they begin
applying online. We will send a unique ID and password to each nominated student so that they can
login to the YSEP online application system. We ask that you send us by email
([email protected]) a prioritized list of nominees that includes each applicant’s name,
prefix (Mr./Ms., etc.), year of study, email address and study period at Tokyo Tech (indicate YFR, YEJ
Autumn, YEJ Spring). This will help us ensure that your students can smoothly complete the
application procedures.
Please note that the application deadline is February 28, 2019 for students who wish to join in the
Autumn Semester 2019 [YFR: September 2019 to August 2020, YEJ: September 2019 to February
2020]. Students must complete the online application form and upload the required attachments by
the above date. Hard copies of application materials are not required.
YSEP Application forms and required documents (Each applicant must submit all of these documents
for the application):
(1) Tokyo Institute of Technology YSEP Application Form
(Use YSEP online application system)
(2) Recommendation Letter(s) from the Applicant's academic supervisor at the Home University
(PDF)
Academic supervisor:
Applicants should specify three Tokyo Tech faculty members to potentially serve as their acad
emic supervisor. They should describe plans for research to be conducted under each. This info
rmation is crucial for matching the applicant with the most appropriate supervisor. When the
description of an applicant’s research plan is vague or inconsistent with a potential supervisor'
s research field, we may ask the applicant to rewrite the application. We would appreciate the
kind support of your university’s administrative staff in this regard.
Note:
Regarding students applying for a JASSO scholarship who receive other funding or scholarships,
some scholarship foundations, unlike JASSO, do not allow their recipients to receive a stipend from
another scholarship foundation (double funding). We would appreciate it if you could help your
students confirm that the receipt of a JASSO scholarship will not jeopardize other funding they
receive.
