The JASSO Study Abroad Support Scheme (Agreement Dispatch) aims to foster human resources who can thrive in the global community, as well as to contribute to the internationalization and strengthening of the international competitiveness of Japan's higher education institutions by enabling Japanese universities to conclude agreements on student exchanges with foreign institutions of higher education (meaning overseas institutions equivalent to universities, graduate schools, junior colleges, technical colleges, or vocational schools (specialized courses)). Based on these agreements, JASSO provides support to students who are dispatched for short periods to foreign institutions of higher education in order to cover a portion of the costs of studying abroad in the form of scholarships and travel subsidies.
