E-JUST offers the “E-JUST TICAD8 African Scholarships for STI” – also known as TICAD8 Scholarships – aimed at developing high-quality human resources in the field of STI (Science, Technology, and Innovation) to contribute to the future African STI network and beyond. These scholarships are provided through the cooperation of the Egyptian government and JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency).
Scholarship Duration
The scholarship duration is the time required to complete the degree requirements at E-JUST. This is typically two years for an M.Sc. degree, which may include six months of preparatory courses if necessary, and three years for a Ph.D. degree, also potentially including six months of preparatory courses if required.
The scholarship support is contingent upon the student’s good standing in the E-JUST graduate programme. A progress evaluation report will be submitted semi-annually to the sponsor, detailing the student’s academic performance, including the transcript, academic advisor’s report, and an updated overview of the student’s research.
These scholarships are full-time, meaning that E-JUST students must devote their time entirely to their studies and research at E-JUST and are not permitted to work elsewhere during the scholarship period.
