JASSO has not specified an exact calendar date for the 2026 scholarship selection results.

Latest official update: The 2026 EJU 1st Session examination results were released on 28 July 2026, while the related JASSO scholarship selection results are scheduled for the end of August 2026. These are two separate results.

When Will JASSO Scholarship Results 2026 Be Announced?
2026 EJU 1st Session Scholarship Results
JASSO has confirmed that the selection results for the scholarship reservation programme connected to the June 2026 EJU 1st Session will be available at the end of August 2026.
The official wording does not provide a specific date such as August 25 or August 31.
Therefore, the most accurate statement is:
JASSO Scholarship Results 2026: End of August 2026
Applicants should wait for JASSO’s official notification rather than treating an unofficial date as confirmed.
Has JASSO Announced the Exact Date?
No.
JASSO’s current official information confirms the results period but does not give a specific calendar date.
This distinction is important for applicants searching for the result date. Scholarships Central should not publish an exact date unless JASSO officially updates its announcement.
What Scholarship Are These Results For?
The results relate to the Reservation Program for Monbukagakusho Honors Scholarship for Privately-Financed International Students.
JASSO offers this reservation programme to privately financed international students who achieve strong EJU results and plan to enroll as regular students at eligible higher-education institutions in Japan.
The programme is administered by the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO).
Why Is It Called a Reservation Program?
The EJU selection identifies applicants who become reservation holders.
A reservation holder is not simply receiving an immediate scholarship payment. The student must subsequently notify JASSO of the school they will attend, submit the Reservation Notice to the school, receive a recommendation from the school and then obtain approval from JASSO as a scholarship recipient.
Therefore:
Being selected as a reservation holder is not the same as receiving the first scholarship payment immediately.
What Is the EJU?
The Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) is the examination relevant to this JASSO reservation route.
For the results covered by this article, the relevant examination was the:
2026 EJU 1st Session — June 2026
JASSO released the EJU examination results on 28 July 2026. The scholarship selection result is scheduled separately for the end of August.
EJU Results vs JASSO Scholarship Results
Applicants should not confuse their EJU score report with their JASSO scholarship result.
| Result | Date |
|---|---|
| 2026 EJU 1st Session examination results | 28 July 2026 |
| JASSO scholarship selection results | End of August 2026 |
JASSO explicitly announced the EJU examination results on July 28 and separately confirmed that the scholarship selection results would be notified at the end of August.
What does this mean for applicants?
If you already received your EJU score, that does not necessarily mean your JASSO scholarship result has been released.
The scholarship selection is a separate process based on EJU performance and the reservation programme’s requirements.
How to Check JASSO Scholarship Results 2026
JASSO has specified how selected applicants will receive their result.
Check EJU Online My Page
Applicants selected as reservation holders will be able to download their:
Reservation Notice for Monbukagakusho Honors Scholarship for Privately-Financed International Students
from My Page on EJU Online. JASSO states that the Reservation Notice can be downloaded from the end of August.
Applicants should therefore use the same EJU Online account associated with their application.
Check the JASSO Published Numbers
JASSO also states that it will publish:
- EJU examination registration numbers
- Scholarship reservation numbers
on its website.
This means applicants should not expect JASSO to necessarily publish a conventional list of names.
What Should You Look For?
The most important document is the:
Reservation Notice
If you are selected, this notice confirms your status as a scholarship reservation holder and provides information about the reservation.
Who Is Eligible for This JASSO Scholarship?
The 2026 EJU 1st Session reservation programme is intended for applicants who took the June 2026 EJU and plan to enroll as regular students in an eligible Japanese institution between May 2026 and April 2027.
Eligible institution types include:
- University undergraduate schools
- Junior colleges
- Colleges of technology from the third year or above
- Professional training colleges
JASSO excludes certain categories of students from this reservation programme, including research students, trainees, non-degree students and auditing students.
Are Graduate Students Eligible?
Not through this EJU reservation programme.
JASSO explicitly states that applicants enrolling in a graduate school are not eligible under this reservation route.
This is important because the broader JASSO Honors Scholarship has different arrangements, but the specific EJU reservation programme covered by these 2026 results is for the eligible undergraduate-level and other listed institutions.
Which EJU Subject Combinations Qualify?
JASSO lists eight eligible subject-test combinations for the 2026 EJU 1st Session reservation programme.
Combination 1
Japanese as a Foreign Language only
Combination 2
Japanese as a Foreign Language + Mathematics
Mathematics may be Course 1 or Course 2.
Combination 3
Japanese as a Foreign Language + Mathematics + Science
Combination 4
Japanese as a Foreign Language + Mathematics + Japan and the World
Combination 5
Japanese as a Foreign Language + Science
Combination 6
Japanese as a Foreign Language + Japan and the World
Combination 7
Mathematics + Science
Combination 8
Mathematics + Japan and the World
JASSO also states that applicants taking the English version of Mathematics, Science or Japan and the World can be eligible under the applicable conditions.
How Are JASSO Scholarship Recipients Selected?
JASSO states that applicants whose EJU scores rank at the top among candidates become reservation holders.
The selection is described in two categories.
Applicants With Superior Scores at Overseas EJU Sites
Applicants achieving superior scores for their applicable subject combination at an overseas examination site can be selected as reservation holders with potential eligibility for an extension of the scholarship duration, subject to the applicable requirements.
Applicants With Good Scores Regardless of Examination Site
Applicants achieving good scores for the applicable subject combination can be selected as reservation holders for a single-year scholarship.
Is There a Universal EJU Score Cutoff?
JASSO does not publish a single universal score in the current 2026 programme information that guarantees selection.
Selection is described in terms of applicants’ EJU performance and ranking within the applicable subject-test combination.
Therefore, applicants should not rely on an unofficial statement such as “you need exactly X points to win.”
How Much Is the JASSO Scholarship?
For the 2026 EJU 1st Session reservation programme, JASSO lists a monthly stipend of:
¥48,000 per month
JASSO also notes that the amount is subject to change each academic year.
Is ¥48,000 Paid for the Entire Degree?
Not necessarily.
The duration depends on the student’s enrollment period and the applicable reservation category.
JASSO specifies two standard periods for this 2026 EJU reservation programme.
How Long Is the Scholarship?
Students Enrolling Between May and October 2026
For students planning to enroll between May 2026 and October 2026, the listed scholarship period is:
October 2026 to March 2027
This is a six-month period.
At ¥48,000 per month, six monthly payments would total ¥288,000, assuming the scholarship is paid for all six months.
Students Enrolling Between November 2026 and April 2027
For students planning to enroll between November 2026 and April 2027, the listed scholarship period is:
April 2027 to March 2028
This is a 12-month period.
At ¥48,000 per month, twelve monthly payments would total ¥576,000, assuming the scholarship is paid for all twelve months.
These are arithmetic totals based on JASSO’s published monthly amount and stated durations; they should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every reservation holder receives exactly those totals, because scholarship eligibility and duration remain subject to the programme’s conditions.
Is the JASSO Scholarship Fully Funded?
No.
The JASSO Honors Scholarship described in this article is a monthly stipend, not a comprehensive full-funding package.
For the 2026 EJU 1st Session reservation programme, JASSO lists ¥48,000 per month.
Applicants should not assume that the scholarship automatically covers:
- Full tuition
- Accommodation
- Flights
- Visa expenses
- All living expenses
- Personal expenses
The official programme page does not describe this reservation scholarship as a fully funded package.
What Happens After You Receive the Reservation Notice?
Receiving the Reservation Notice is an important step, but additional procedures are required.
JASSO states that reservation holders must:
- Notify JASSO of the school they will attend.
- Submit a copy of the Reservation Notice to the school.
- Be recommended by the school.
- Be approved by JASSO as a scholarship recipient.
Why Is This Important?
An applicant should not assume:
“My name/number appeared in the reservation results, so my scholarship payments are guaranteed immediately.”
The official process includes further school recommendation and JASSO approval.
Requirements to Receive the Scholarship
JASSO’s current 2026 programme information lists additional requirements for scholarship recipients.
Residence Status
The student must have the Japanese residence status:
“Student”
under the applicable immigration rules.
The student also cannot be a Japanese Government MEXT Scholarship student or a qualifying foreign-government-sponsored student under the stated rules.
Enrollment Status
The student must be enrolled as a regular student at an eligible Japanese institution.
Academic and Language Requirements
The student must meet the applicable GPA and language-skill requirements for the scholarship awarding year.
Private Financial Support
JASSO states that the allowance received from the student’s private funding source may not exceed an average of ¥90,000 per month, excluding admission and tuition fees.
Supporter’s Income in Japan
Where applicable, the annual income of a student’s supporter residing in Japan may not exceed ¥5,000,000 under the programme’s stated requirements.
Other Scholarships
Students cannot receive certain other scholarships that prohibit simultaneous receipt of the JASSO Honors Scholarship.
JASSO also specifies that students receiving its Student Exchange Support Program scholarship for short-term study in Japan are not eligible to receive this scholarship under the stated conditions.
Attendance Confirmation
The student must report to the international student affairs office at their school once a month to confirm their official attendance record.
Can a JASSO Scholarship Reservation Be Cancelled?
Yes.
JASSO states that a reservation can be cancelled in circumstances including:
- False information or serious negligence in application documents
- Failure to enroll in an eligible institution during the applicable enrollment period
- Becoming disqualified under another applicable condition
Therefore, being selected as a reservation holder does not remove the need to satisfy the programme requirements.
Can JASSO Scholarship Payments Be Terminated?
Yes.
JASSO states that payments may be terminated if the recipient no longer satisfies the requirements or if certain other circumstances occur.
Examples include:
- Losing the required “Student” residence status
- Transferring to another school
- Withdrawing from school
- Extremely poor academic standing reported by the institution
- Providing false information
- Suspension or expulsion
- Failing to satisfy scholarship requirements
Students should therefore treat the scholarship as conditional on continued eligibility.
Can Students Receive the Scholarship If Their University Does Not Use EJU?
Yes, under the specific condition described by JASSO.
JASSO states that reservation holders who enroll as regular students at an institution that does not use EJU scores in its admission process can still request the scholarship, provided they enroll in an eligible university undergraduate programme, junior college, eligible college of technology programme or professional training college in Japan.
This is an important detail because EJU performance is used for the reservation selection, but the eventual institution does not necessarily have to use EJU scores for admission.
What If I Took the EJU Outside Japan?
The programme includes applicants who took the EJU at overseas examination sites.
JASSO states that applicants with superior scores at overseas examination sites can be selected as reservation holders under the applicable selection category.
The application procedure differs depending on whether the EJU was taken in Japan or outside Japan.
EJU Taken in Japan
Applicants were instructed to select the reservation programme in the relevant scholarship column when applying through EJU Online.
EJU Taken Outside Japan
Applicants were instructed to mark the designated scholarship option on the EJU application form.
What Should Applicants Do Before the Results Are Released?
Applicants waiting for the JASSO Scholarship Results 2026 should prepare for the next stage rather than relying on unofficial updates.
Monitor EJU Online
Check your My Page on EJU Online when the end-of-August results period begins.
Prepare Your EJU Registration Information
JASSO will publish examination registration numbers and scholarship reservation numbers, so applicants should keep their EJU information available.
Check Your Intended School
If selected, you will need to notify JASSO about the school you intend to attend and submit the Reservation Notice to that institution.
Do Not Assume the Scholarship Is Final Yet
Remember that reservation holders still need the subsequent school recommendation and JASSO approval process.

Important Difference Between Reservation Holder and Scholarship Recipient
This distinction deserves special attention.
Reservation Holder
A reservation holder is an applicant selected through the EJU-based reservation process.
The applicant receives a Reservation Notice.
Scholarship Recipient
To actually receive the scholarship, the reservation holder must:
- Notify JASSO of the intended school
- Submit the Reservation Notice to the school
- Receive school recommendation
- Receive approval from JASSO
- Continue meeting the scholarship requirements
Therefore, the accurate wording for a results article is:
“Selected as a scholarship reservation holder”
rather than automatically saying:
“Scholarship payment approved.”
Common Mistakes Applicants Should Avoid
Mistake 1: Confusing EJU Results With JASSO Results
The EJU scores were released on 28 July 2026. The JASSO scholarship results are scheduled for the end of August 2026.
Mistake 2: Expecting an Exact August Date
JASSO has confirmed the end-of-August period but has not published a specific calendar date.
Mistake 3: Calling It a Fully Funded Scholarship
The 2026 programme lists a ¥48,000 monthly stipend. It should not be described as an all-expenses-paid scholarship.
Mistake 4: Assuming Reservation Means Immediate Payment
A reservation holder must complete further procedures and obtain school recommendation and JASSO approval.
Mistake 5: Using an Unofficial EJU Score Cutoff
JASSO describes selection based on EJU performance and ranking among candidates rather than publishing one universal guaranteed cutoff for this programme.
Mistake 6: Checking the Wrong JASSO Scholarship
JASSO administers multiple scholarship programmes. This article concerns the EJU 1st Session 2026 reservation programme for privately financed international students.
