Tottori University International Exchange Center

To privately-financed international students

We are now accepting applications for scholarships and other financial aid for the 2nd semester of the 2025 academic year.

 

[Purpose]

This is to determine which students to recommend for university-recommended scholarships.
Tottori university will determine the recommendation ranking based on the submitted “Scholarship Application Form” and academic record etc..
Each time a scholarship is offered, the university will confirm the intention to apply with the top-ranked students in the recommendation ranking and recommend them for various scholarships.
