Kaho Cambridge Graduate Scholarship in Japanese Studies

The Kaho Cambridge Graduate Scholarship is available to applicants for a PhD in the Faculty of Asian & Middle Eastern Studies (Japanese Studies) whose research aims to place Japan within the wider context of the world. It is tenable at any College of the University of Cambridge. This fund is offered in partnership with Pan Asian Association (PAA). The scholarship covers home and international fees as well as maintenance costs for the duration of the PhD course. Trust scholarships do not automatically fund the optional PhD writing-up period, but the Trust may, on application, provide up to a further 6 months of maintenance to support writing up. Awards are based on both financial need (including hardship) and academic merit. One scholarship is available for the 2026/27 academic year.
