Are you an aspiring African professional with a dream of contributing to your continent's development? Do you envision yourself acquiring world-class knowledge and skills to make a tangible impact? Then the Japan Africa Dream Scholarship (JADS) might just be the life-changing opportunity you've been waiting for!
Launched in 2017, JADS is a powerful collaboration between the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the Government of Japan. Its core mission is to enhance human resources capacity in Africa by offering high-achieving African students a fully-funded, two-year scholarship to pursue master's degree programs at esteemed universities in Japan.
Why JADS? A Gateway to Growth and Impact
This isn't just about obtaining a degree; it's about investing in Africa's future. The JADS program is strategically aligned with the AfDB's "High 5" strategic priorities: Feed Africa, Light up and power Africa, Industrialize Africa, Integrate Africa, and Improve the quality of life of the people of Africa. By focusing on key areas like:
- Energy
- Agriculture
- Health
- Environmental Sustainability
- Engineering
- And related disciplines
JADS ensures that its scholars are equipped to address critical challenges and drive sustainable development across the continent. Upon completion of their studies, JADS scholars are expected to return to their home countries, applying their newly acquired knowledge and skills to propel national and continental socio-economic growth.
What Does the JADS Scholarship Cover?
The JADS program offers comprehensive support to its beneficiaries, ensuring a smooth and enriching academic journey. This includes:
- Full tuition fees for the duration of the two-year master's program.
- A generous monthly living stipend to cover living expenses, including books.
- Round-trip airfare from your home country to the host university and back.
- Health insurance.
- In special circumstances, additional support for research and thesis preparation, computer literacy, or preparatory language courses may be available.
It's important to note that the scholarship focuses on the scholar's academic and living expenses and typically does not cover expenses for family members, extra-curricular activities not part of the graduate program, or personal equipment like computers.
