Kyoto University of Advanced Science (KUAS) has officially opened applications for its prestigious Super KUAS‑E Scholarship and accompanying KUAS‑E scholarship programs for the 2026 academic intake, marking a significant opportunity for international students seeking world‑class education in Japan. The initiative is designed to attract outstanding applicants from around the globe to KUAS’s English‑medium degree programs, spanning engineering, bioenvironmental sciences, business administration, and other key fields.
The Super KUAS‑E Scholarship stands out as one of the most generous awards offered by the university. Successful candidates will receive a full exemption from admission and tuition fees, along with a substantial annual financial support package of 1.2 million Japanese yen, intended to assist with living costs, study materials, and other educational expenses. The scholarship is renewable each academic year, contingent on the recipient maintaining high academic performance, active engagement in university life, and adherence to KUAS’s code of conduct.
In addition to the Super KUAS‑E award, KUAS provides multiple tiers of KUAS‑E scholarships that extend partial or full tuition coverage to eligible students based on academic merit and the strength of their application. These scholarships are evaluated concurrently with admissions decisions, encouraging applicants to present competitive academic records, strong personal statements, and evidence of leadership or community engagement.
University leadership has underscored that this expanded scholarship framework reflects KUAS’s broader strategy to internationalize its campus and strengthen its global academic profile. By reducing financial barriers, the scholarships aim to draw diverse, high‑potential students who can contribute meaningfully to both the academic community and global innovation networks. Officials also emphasize that scholarship recipients are expected to serve as ambassadors of excellence, fostering intercultural exchange and collaborative research that elevate the university’s presence on the world stage.
Prospective applicants are encouraged to prepare comprehensive documentation, including academic transcripts, English proficiency evidence, and personal statements, to ensure consideration for both admission and scholarship awards. The announcement has generated considerable interest across international student communities, with many viewing the Super KUAS‑E Scholarship as a gateway to advanced study in one of Japan’s most historically rich and academically esteemed cities.
This initiative signals KUAS’s commitment not only to academic excellence but also to cultivating a globally engaged student body capable of addressing complex challenges in technology, sustainability, and business leadership.
