Even if you receive a scholarship from a foreign government, you are not a recipient of a Japanese Government (Monbukagakusho) Scholarship, so you are not considered a government-sponsored student, but a form of “privately financed student”.
If you are enrolled as an undergraduate student, MEXT will request that you be accepted by the University. If you wish to enroll as a graduate student or research student, MEXT will make an inquiry to the relevant faculty to see if it is possible to accept you, taking your field of specialization into consideration.

JICA accepts international students in response to the need for human resource development in key areas and sectors that contribute to solving the complex challenges faced by developing countries. These students primarily enroll in master’s or doctoral programs at Japanese universities and aim to acquire advanced knowledge and skills that will contribute to addressing issues in their home countries.

Ehime University also supports this initiative by accepting such students. Through support for human resource development, the University seeks to contribute to the development of partner countries and to build and maintain long-term, positive relationships between Japan and developing countries.

This is a program to support international students who are accepted by Japanese universities and graduate schools for a period of three months to one year while still enrolled at their home universities, based on agreements for student exchange with universities in other countries.
