World Bank’s Development Economics Vice Presidency (DEC) Provides Scholarships for Students and Young Researchers.




The World Bank’s Development Economics Vice Presidency (DEC) has been offering scholarships to students and young researchers as part of its mission to promote economic development and shared prosperity through investing in education, capacity building, and developing human resources in the developing world.

DEC's scholarship programs have been active since 1982, and they have helped over 6,000 development professionals and scholars from developing countries to acquire the necessary training and experience to positively impact their nations and future generations.

Currently, DEC has two active scholarship programs, including the Joint Japan/World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program (JJWBGSP), which is solely funded by the Government of Japan, and has provided graduate degree opportunities to over 6,000 mid-career professionals from 160 developing countries and Japan since 1987.



The Robert S. McNamara Fellowships Program (RSMFP) is another active program that offers support to young researchers working on various development-related fields. The program connects promising young researchers to World Bank research, data resources, and technical expertise, and selected fellows are hosted as a cohort at the World Bank in Washington D.C., where they receive formal training and participate in policy-relevant research.

There is also an inactive program called the Japan Indonesia Presidential Scholarship Program (JIPS), which is no longer accepting applications. 

The program, which received a one-time $10 million grant from the Government of Japan, supported 43 Indonesian PhD students to study abroad under the sponsorship of one of the program’s ten partner Indonesian universities between 2008 and 2010.

In conclusion, the DEC's scholarship programs are crucial components of the World Bank’s efforts to promote economic development and shared prosperity by investing in education and capacity building, as well as developing human resources in the developing world.scholarshipapplicants@worldbank.org

 The USAID Undergraduate Scholarships for Flood-affected students is a fully-funded scholarship program that is available to all Pakistani applicants who aspire to pursue higher education abroad.  The scholarship program accepts applications from around the world and offers opportunities for undergraduate degrees in various majors, including humanities, arts, natural sciences, law, and health sciences.
