      As the 2013 program's deadline was only a month ago, we can assume next year's program will likely have the same timeline and a deadline around November 2013. However, to be certain, please contact the scholarship organizers at admin@mem.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp and see their official website listed above. Thank you!
