Applications are now open for the 2014 Young Leaders’ Program (YLP).
Since 2001, the Young Leaders’ Program (YLP) has been nurturing promising young Filipinos through its 1-year academic scholarship program in Japan. Introduced by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Science, and Technology (MEXT), YLP strives to create a wide-ranging human network and establish friendly relationships among the leaders in Asia while improving the quality of policy planning in the participating countries.
YLP offers four (4) courses: Business Administration, Law, Local Governance, and School of Government. Classes for all courses are held primarily in English. A master’s degree will be conferred by the participating university upon the successful completion of the program.
Interested applicants must have a Bachelor’s degree with excellent academic performance, and must be highly proficient in English. Depending on the course, applicants must be 35 or 40 years old and below, with at least 3 – 5 years of work experience.
The screening of applicants is based on the endorsement of the ‘recommending authorities’ for each course.
