Foreign-government Sponsored Students
In order to promote the nurturing of their country's human resources, some countries have been dispatching students on scholarships sponsored by their own government to Japan in recent years, asking the Japanese government to cooperate in their acceptance. These students fall under the 'privately financed foreign student' category in terms of financing. However, so that it can actively promote international cooperation to the countries involved, the Japanese government administers such cooperation as mediating the acceptance of the students in preparatory educations (for Japanese-language study, etc.) and universities.
The Japanese government currently provides the governments of Malaysia and Indonesia with yen loans for use as funds as part of each country's government-sponsored study-in-Japan fund. Japan also provides necessary cooperation, such as preparatory educations of Japanese language or acceptance to the universities to these countries and Thailand, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Uzbekistan regarding the acceptance of students on scholarships sponsored by their own governments.
Furthermore, Japan provides support such as preparatory educations for prospective students in China (Changchun, Jilin) and Malaysia prior to their departure for studies in Japan.
