The program is to be taking at any of the partnering universities in Japan, the USA, or African countries. The World Bank program is open to only students of World Bank members considered as developing countries.
Applicants of the program must meet some eligibility criteria to be considered for the graduate scholarship program. One of such criteria requires students who would take the program in either Japan or the US to return back to their countries at the completion of the program so that they can apply their knowledge towards the development of their countries.
This is a fully-funded program designed to cover all your costs of study such as tuition, air travel cost to and from your choice study destination, health insurance, monthly allowance, and other relevant study costs. If you think you have what it takes to study at the highest level, then this scholarship program might just be the starting point for you.
