Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (OAP) Japan-IMF Scholarship Program for Asia

The Ph.D. Track offers highly motivated government officials from key economic agencies, including central banks, the opportunity to pursue doctoral studies in economics or related fields at any accredited university in Japan. The program is designed for scholars who seek to further advance their research skills required for their future roles as economic policymakers and institutional leaders, with a strong commitment to address complex challenges in their home countries. 

Applicants are responsible for securing admission directly from their chosen university, as the IMF does not manage university applications.
