 The World Bank annually awards five scholarships to the PPT program. The
first level of screening of candidates will be done at Yokohama National
University. The final decision regarding scholarship recipients will be
made by the World Bank.
The scholarship covers tuition, entrance examination, medical insurance,
and admission fees. In addition, the scholarship provides a monthly allowance
of JPY 152,000 (the amount is subject to change), and a round-trip air
ticket to Japan plus a travel allowance of JPY60,000. The monthly stipend
is intended to cover living, commuting and other incidental expenses during
the student’s study period. Travel expenses for some program-sponsored
field trips are also included. The next scholarship program runs from October
2013 to September 2015. This period cannot be changed under any circumstance. |
| JOINT JAPAN/WORLD BANK GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM EMPLOYMENT POLICY FOR JJ/WBGSP SCHOLARS |
The Grant Agreement between the World Bank and the Government of Japan states: "It is anticipated that scholars would return to their countries to apply their enhanced knowledge and skills towards helping accelerate the pace of economic and social development."
To maintain high levels of home return, it has been an established agreement between the Government of Japan (the sole Program donor) and the World Bank that JJ/WBGSP scholars are not entitled to seek employment of any kind at the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for three years after they finish their academic program.
The three-year employment restriction applies to World Bank and IMF headquarters and field offices. This restriction covers regular staff appointments, short term consulting contracts, and all other types of employment during the three-year period. |
