Annual Report on the Asian Development Bank - Japan Scholarship Program 1999
Asian Development Bank | June 1999
Abstract
The Asian Development Bank (ADB)-Japan Scholarship Program (JSP) was established in April 1988 with financing from the Government of Japan. The main objective of the ADB-JSP is to provide an opportunity for well-qualified citizens of the ADB’s developing member countries (DMCs) to undertake postgraduate studies in economics, management, science and technology, and other development-related fields at selected educational institutions in the Asian and Pacific Region. Upon completion of their study programs, scholars are expected to contribute to the economic and social development of their home countries. The scholarships cover tuition, books, subsistence allowance, housing allowance, medical insurance, travel, and research subsidies. Currently, 16 institutions located in 10 countries within the Region participate in the Program (Appendix 1).
