Abstract
The Japan Scholarship Program’s (JSP) 2013 Annual Report covers the period 1 January-31 December 2013.
It presents the JSP’s activities and achievements as well as success stories from students and alumni. The JSP
was established in 1988 to provide well-qualified citizens of developing member countries an opportunity to
undertake postgraduate studies in economics, business and management, science and technology, and other
development-related fields at 29 educational institutions in 10 countries in Asia and the Pacific. Between
1988 and 2013, Japan contributed around $145 million to the JSP. A total of 3,104 scholarships have been
awarded to recipients from 37 member countries, 1,101 of whom are women. Of the total, 2,758 scholars have
already completed their courses. An average of 150 scholarships are being awarded each year.
