You should prepared monetarily to come and study or research in Japan. Suggestive amount of the expense is described above. However, for someone who needs financial helps, the followings may be helpful, I hope.

Fellowship, Scholarship, Grant information

• We, almost all the national Universities in Japan, can't offer you any financial helps for your traveling and living expenses at this time.
  
• The grant system in Japan differs from that in U.S.A., for examle, we, in Japan, get grants from the "Monbusho (The Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture)" and can use only for research activities but can't for personnel payment.
  
• One of the best ways for you to study in Japan is that you get the "Monbusho scholarship (Japanese Government scholarship), approximately 180,000 yen per month" and then come to Japan. In that case, you are advised to contact with the Japanese Embassy or such in your country to get information about the scholarship. You can also apply for your Government Scholarship.
  
• You can also apply for the Fellowship of The International Scientific Exchange Fund of the Japan Dental Association. The application form may be available from "the Committee on the International Scientific Exchange Fund, Japan Dental Association, 3-16 Hayabusa-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 102 Japan". I don't think the money from only this fund is enough to live in Japan.
  . Approximately 100,000 - 200,000 yen per month (of course, it depends on your life stile) are required for living expenses in Japan, and, in addition, you have to pay tuition and fees described above.
• Training program under JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency). We are not sure whether this is suitable for you. You may be able to contact with the JICA branch in your country.

   

• There are several garants available for the foreign student, mainly of postgraduate level. However, it may be quite difficult to obtain the scholarship, I am afraid. We will not introduce those here.
