It is quite hard to get any kind of scholarship here in Japan. You should
apply for scholarships in your home country before leaving for Japan. If
you go to the nearest Japanese Embassy or Consulate in your country, you
can get both information and an application form to apply for a Monbukagakusho
Scholarship, which the Japanese Government offers to International students
to study in Japan. (The University of Tokyo does not distribute the application
form for Monbukagakusho Scholarships.)

For information about scholarships, please refer to Scholarship Information.

＜3. Accommodation Facilities＞
The University operates the University of Tokyo International Lodges (Shirokanedai and Komaba), Mitaka International Students Hall, and Toshima International Students Hall which provide lodging facilities for students and researchers from abroad. The accommodations, however, are limited, and most students live in dormitories of private foundations, or in apartments or rooming houses.
Please refer to Information of Accommodations.

＜4. Japanese Language Program＞
We offer Japanese Language lessons, however basically it is very hard to
get into the intensive course if you are not a Monbukagakusho Scholarship
Student. Please remember that you are required to have advanced Japanese
language ability to be accepted to our department.
Please refer to Japanese Language Lessons.
