Tottori University International Exchange Center

For privately-financed students, Tottori University will start accepting the ”Scholarship Application Form" for the first semester of the 2025 academic year.

Tottori university determines the university's recommendation rank (ranking) based on the "Scholarship Application Form" submitted by privately financed international students and their academic record, etc.

Based on this recommendation ranking, Tottori university recommends the students with the high recommendation ranking  to various scholarships after individually confirming their willingness to apply for each scholarship.

Therefore, privately financed international students who wish to receive scholarships must submit the "Application Form for Scholarship", etc. by the deadline.

*Submitting the "Scholarship Application Form" to Tottori University does NOT guarantee that you will receive a scholarship.Please pay close attention to this.
