The Asian Development Bank is giving a fully financed scholarship to overseas students pursuing a Master's degree. Students can study in ADB-JSP-selected subjects at the University of Hawai'i at Mnoa (UHM). Through this fully supported scholarship, students will be able to engage at the East-West Centre's educational, residential, and leadership development programmes (EWC). Furthermore, overseas scholarships provide tuition, flights, a monthly stipend, and other incentives for qualified applicants. ADB is looking for people to share their knowledge and experience gained from this programme in order to promote socioeconomic development.
In April 1988, the Asian Development Bank Scholarship was founded. ADB-JSP was funded by the Japanese government, and it was managed by the East-West Center to strengthen human resource capacity in Asian Development Bank member nations. The scholarship in the United States aims to provide well-qualified citizens of ADB's developing member countries with the opportunity to pursue graduate studies in economics, science and technology, management, and other fields in the Asian and Pacific regions.
Furthermore, the University of Hawai'i at Mnoa is the top teaching and research university, offering foreign students with an inexpensive and high-quality education. After finishing a master's scholarship, international students must return to their home countries. Asian Development Bank Scholarships are a fantastic chance for students to get foreign experience and advance in their professions. The deadline for applying to this USA scholarship programme is December 1, 2022. Therefore, do not pass up this opportunity to study in the United States and apply for an ADB Japan scholarship in the United States to realise your dream of studying abroad.
