ADB – Government of Japan Scholarship Program for Sri Lankans

The Asian Development Bank-Japan Scholarship Program (ADB-JSP) was established in April 1988 with financing from the Government of Japan.

It aims to provide an opportunity for well-qualified citizens of ADB’s developing member countries, such as Sri Lanka to undertake postgraduate studies in economics, management, science and technology, and other development-related fields at participating academic 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.

What does the scholarship cover?

The ADB-JSP provides

• full tuition fees
• a monthly subsistence and housing allowance
• an allowance for books and instructional materials
• medical insurance
• travel expenses

For scholars engaged in research, a special grant may be available for thesis preparation.

In special circumstances computer literacy, preparatory language and other similar courses may be covered under the scholarship.
