The Osaka University MEXT Scholarship 2026 (University Recommendation) is a fully funded opportunity for international students who wish to pursue undergraduate studies in Japan. This scholarship allows students to apply directly to specific programs at Osaka University and, upon acceptance, receive full support from the Japanese Government (MEXT), including tuition, monthly stipend, accommodation support, round-trip airfare, and health insurance. Unlike the embassy recommendation, this route requires students to first secure admission into a qualifying program at Osaka University, after which the university itself recommends them for the MEXT scholarship.

Osaka University, located in Osaka, Japan, is one of the country’s top research institutions, known for its high-quality education and innovative research programs. The university offers several international undergraduate programs under this scholarship, including the Human Sciences International Undergraduate Degree Program (HUS) and the International Undergraduate Program in Science (IUPS). These programs provide a multicultural learning environment with courses taught in English, allowing students from around the world to study in Japan without needing prior Japanese language proficiency. Osaka University emphasizes global engagement, cutting-edge research, and preparing students to become leaders in their fields. 📚 Register now for our new programs at MK SCHOLARS.
