The Japanese Government Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (Monbukagakusho: MEXT) sponsors the Monbukagakusho Scholarship to enable foreign students from 150 countries to study in Japan. There are seven types of Japanese Government Scholarships. College of Technology Student Scholarships are for students in material engineering, mechanical engineering, electronic control engineering, electrical engineering, electronics, information eEngineering, architecture, and mercantile marine. Details.

In cooperation with the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) is seeking postdoctoral-level scientists interested in furthering their research interests and developing expertise in new areas. Scientists who have recently received their PhDs have an exciting opportunity to work alongside experienced scientists at the NRL Marine Meteorology Division, which is located in Monterey, California. NRL conducts a research and development program designed to improve the basic understanding of atmospheric processes and to develop information systems that analyze, simulate, predict, and interpret the structure and behavior of these processes and their effects on Naval systems. Details.

The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) - the organization to which Helen Keller devoted her life - is a national nonprofit whose mission is to ensure that the ten million Americans who are blind or visually impaired enjoy the same rights and opportunities as other citizens. The Paul and Ellen Ruckes Scholarship provides one (1) scholarship of $1,000 to an undergraduate or graduate student studying in the field of engineering or in computer, physical, or life sciences. Details.

The Electronic Document Systems Foundation (EDSF) Scholarship Program was established to recognize and support the vital role that education plays in the success of document communication companies worldwide. EDSF scholarships are presented to outstanding students preparing for careers in this industry. Details.

The Society of Women Engineers Scholarship Program provides financial assistance to women admitted to accredited baccalaureate or graduate programs, in preparation for careers in engineering, engineering technology and computer science. Freshman Scholarships vary in amount from $1,000 to $5,000 per year and are available to incoming freshman. In addition, Reentry scholarships provide $2,000 per year. Details.

The IEEE Computer Society offers the Richard E. Merwin Scholarship to recognize and reward active leaders in Computer Society student branch chapters who show promise in their academic and professional efforts. Details.
