About the scholarship

Kyoto University of Advanced Science (KUAS) is a private university in Kyoto offering engineering programmes taught entirely in English — undergraduate and postgraduate — in a city famous as a college town. For international students, KUAS runs two scholarship tiers, and both can be applied for during the admission application itself.

The flagship Super KUAS-E Scholarship is the genuinely fully funded option: full tuition, full admission fee, and a yearly living stipend. The KUAS-E Scholarship covers the remaining ground with tiered reductions of 100%, 50% or 20% on tuition and admission fees.

What the funding covers

  • Super KUAS-E Scholarship: 100% of tuition fees + 100% of the admission fee + a stipend for personal expenses worth ¥1,200,000 per year (about ¥100,000 per month).
  • KUAS-E Scholarship: tuition reduction of 100%, 50% or 20% with a matching admission-fee reduction of 100%, 50% or 20%, by category — available to bachelor’s and master’s students.
  • Funding arrives with the admission decision: scholarship results are announced together with the admission offer (or a few weeks after), so you can plan your finances before you enrol.
  • Published 2027 costs for reference: engineering programmes — annual tuition ¥1,022,500, admission fee ¥200,000, other expenses ¥49,500 (the university’s projected amounts for September 2027 entrants, subject to change).

Eligibility

  • Nationality: all international applicants — the scholarships are open to every international student applying to KUAS’ international programmes.
  • Level: bachelor’s and master’s students (Super KUAS-E; the KUAS-E reduction tiers also span both levels).
  • Academic standing: awarded on academic excellence — the single stated criterion.
  • Track: applicants to the university’s English-taught international programmes (notably engineering).

Documents you will need

Applications go through the TAO (The Admissions Office) online portal. Prepare the standard international-admissions pack:

  • Academic transcripts and graduation certificates.
  • Passport copy and other identification documents.
  • English proficiency evidence (programmes are English-taught).
  • Any programme-specific documents listed in the entrance examination guidelines.
  • Application fee: ¥5,000 for the English-based admission track (2027 school year, per JASSO data).
  • Scholarship step: express your intent to receive the Super KUAS-E and/or KUAS-E Scholarship on the TAO application, per the university’s published procedure.

How to apply

  1. Read the entrance examination guidelines for the 2027 English-track admission on the official KUAS admissions pages.
  2. Prepare your documents — transcripts, certificates, ID, and proof of English proficiency.
  3. Submit your application on the TAO portal between 1 October 2026 and 26 February 2027 (documents must arrive by the deadline).
  4. Indicate your scholarship intent on the TAO application for the Super KUAS-E and/or KUAS-E Scholarship.
  5. Await the combined result — admission and scholarship notifications arrive together (or a few weeks apart).
