About 6,000 middle-career professionals from more than 160 developing nations, including Japan, have received financial aid from the Joint Japan/World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program (JJWBGSP) to finish graduate degrees in fields of study important to development.
The program, which has been running annually since 1987, is the only one financed by the Japanese government through JJWBGSP.
