How to Apply:

Applications for scholarships should be sent at least six months prior to the planned time that you wish to commence studies. Applicants should indicate to the academic institution that they are applying for admission and that they would like to be considered for the ADB–JSP Scholarship. The completed institution application form and required documentation, including the ADB–JSP application sheet form, should be submitted to the academic institution.
