The JJ/WBGSP is for graduate studies in subjects related to economic development.Each year, the Program awards scholarships to individuals from World Bank member countries to undertake graduate studies at renowned universities throughout member countries of the Bank. Scholars are required to return to their home countries on completion of their study Programs and apply their enhanced knowledge and skills to contribute to the development process in their respective regions and communities.

The Japan Indonesia Presidential Scholarship Program (JIPS)

Funded by a grant from the JIPS Program supports PhD studies in an academic field of study covered by ten Indonesian Centers of Excellence participating in the program. Each of these newly established Centers of Excellence is located at a leading higher education institution in the country with a demonstrated track record in the pursuit of excellence.
