Asian Development Bank (ADB) Scholarship

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) Scholarship supports outstanding students from developing member countries who wish to pursue postgraduate studies at leading academic institutions. The most prominent of these opportunities is the ADB-Japan Scholarship Program (ADB-JSP), which funds master’s degree studies in fields such as economics, business, public policy, health, agriculture, and environmental management. The program is designed to strengthen human capital in the Asia-Pacific region by enabling talented individuals to gain advanced knowledge and skills that contribute to their home countries’ development.

Recipients typically receive full tuition, a monthly stipend, airfare, health insurance, and other allowances, depending on the host institution and the terms of the award. Eligibility generally requires a bachelor’s degree, relevant work experience, admission to a participating university, and citizenship of an ADB developing member country. Applicants must also demonstrate financial need and a commitment to returning home to apply their training.
