Japan-IMF Scholarship Program for Asia, Application for the 2011-2012 academic year will open in late September 2010

Japan-IMF Scholarship Program for Asia (JISPA)


Introduction



The Japan-IMF Scholarship Program for Asia (JISPA) was first introduced in 1993. It is funded by the Government of Japan, administered by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and conducted at
various graduate schools in Japan. Its objective is to contribute to
institutional capacity building in economic policymaking to promote the
sustainable growth of emerging and developing economies in Asia and the
Pacific. By training future macroeconomic managers in these countries,
the JISPA aims to enable them to better formulate sound economic and
financial stability policies needed for sustainable growth and
development.

The JISPA targets highly motivated government officials who may serve as future macroeconomic policy makers with the capacity and vision to contribute effectively to the economic development of their countries.
Scholarship awards are made on the basis of the candidate’s academic
record and work background, mathematical and statistics skills, English
language proficiency, and potential for contributing to the
macroeconomic and financial management and economic development of their
country. The assessment also includes qualities such as the candidate’s
commitment to public service, willingness to learn, and openness to new
ideas.




Currently, the JISPA is open to qualified candidates from the following countries:

Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Lao P.D.R., Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pacific Island Countries, Papua New Guinea, Philippines,
Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan,
and Vietnam.




The scholarship covers tuition-related costs and most living expenses for the scholar herself/himself. Officials who receive the JISPA scholarship cannot accept other scholarships. Scholars are expected to
devote full time to their studies while in Japan.


The program comprises two tracks: this.s_oc?this.s_oc(e):true' href="http://www.imf.org/external/oap/... and x=".tl(";s_objectID="http://www.imf.org/external/oap/opentrack.htm_.... Because of the strong competition for scholarships, the JISPA is highly
selective. In 2010-2011, a total of 30 new scholarships are available
to candidates for the partnership track. There is no fixed limit on new
scholarships for the open track, but generally only a small number of
scholarships are awarded.
