Characteristics of INPEX Scholarship Foundation

　We select our scholarship students from applicants residing in Indonesia while many other Japanese scholarship foundations choose their students from foreign applicants who have already been living or studying in Japan.
　As we ask SEKNEG (State Secretariat of the Republic of Indonesia), DPN (Ministry of National Education), LIPI (Indonesian Institute of Sciences) and the main national universities to distribute our “ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SCHOLARSHIPS” and “APPLICATION FORM FOR SCHOLARSHIPS” to many institutions under the relevant authorities, a lot of the government employees (young researchers and young lecturers) apply for our scholarships program.
　Our Foundation helps a grantee from Indonesia to study at the Japanese language class and to enter in a master program course of the university in Japan in cooperation with the university’s professor who recommend the grantee to us. For international students, an increasing number of graduate schools in Japan place their entrance examination and hold classes in English language but the importance of studying Japanese language should not be ignored.
　Our Foundation also assists a grantee to obtain Japanese entry visa, lodging and so on when he/she enters a university in Japan.
　Our scholarship award includes the admission fee for each of a Japanese language school and a Graduate School, and living expenses, traveling expenses etc.
　Regarding Japanese students, our Foundation has, from the first term year until now, consistently assisted students to study in Indonesia while almost all other scholarship foundations accept students who wish to study at American or European Universities.
