THE MATSUMAE INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION

RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME

The Matsumae International Foundation is a non-governmental organization. Its Fund is solely based on donations from many Japanese people who have responded with goodwill to Dr. Shigeyoshi Matsumae’s call.
While many donations have been kindly offered by enterprises and groups, most of the donors are individuals who are sympathetic with the Founder’s ideals, and maintain contributions to the Fund from their limited incomes.
Successful applicants are urged to seriously consider and understand the goodwill of those persons, and ensure that the provided fellowships are utilized effectively.

Fields of study such as natural science, engineering and medicine are given first priority.

Successful applicants for fellowships, having passed the Foundation's screening, will be invited to Japan for a period of 3 to 6 months between April to March of each year. Extension of the granted period is not allowed. Also, the fellowship grant is restricted to the period indicated in the Grant Letter. The number of fellowships is around 20 persons.
