Japan's Top 10 Universities Offer Full Scholarships to Nigerian Students by 2027
Ten Japanese universities will provide fully funded or tuition-supported education for Nigerian students by 2027. These institutions are expanding opportunities in fields like STEM.
The University of Tokyo leads with multiple funding options, such as MEXT scholarships, tuition waivers, and its own UTokyo fellowships. Kyoto University follows with the Kyoto iUP scholarship alongside MEXT support. Both institutions aim to attract international talent, though exact figures for 2023 admissions remain undisclosed.
Osaka University combines MEXT funding with university merit scholarships, while Tohoku University offers the President Fellowship in addition to MEXT. Hokkaido University provides ISP scholarships, MEXT awards, and tuition waivers to reduce financial barriers. Nagoya University supports students through the Global 30 programme and MEXT funding.
Keio University and Waseda University also feature in the list. Keio grants its own scholarships alongside MEXT, whereas Waseda offers merit-based awards, tuition reductions, and MEXT support. Together, these ten universities cover a broad range of disciplines, ensuring Nigerian students have access to high-quality education in Japan.
The MEXT scholarship remains a key pathway for many, though precise data on 2023 enrolments in AI, sustainability, or engineering is not publicly available. Despite this, the expansion of funding options signals a growing commitment to international education in Japan.
The ten universities will open doors for Nigerian students in critical fields by 2027. With a mix of government and institution-specific funding, they reduce financial hurdles for those pursuing degrees in technology, sustainability, and policy. The programmes reflect Japan's push to diversify its academic community and strengthen global partnerships.
