Shibaura Institute of Technology will renew the entire scholarship system for master's programs, such as establishing a "women's quota" for scholarships for graduate school master's students from 2023, and the number of recipients will be greatly expanded.
The ratio of female students in graduate schools in the field of engineering in Japan is 2% according to the "Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology School Basic Survey Reiwa 14.6nd Year", which is a low level compared to the world, and the graduate school enrollment rate of undergraduate graduates is 11.3. %, Which is also very low compared to major countries.Based on this situation, Shibaura Institute of Technology has set a goal of 2027% female student ratio (currently 100%) and 30% graduate school enrollment rate (currently 18.7%) toward the 60th anniversary of its establishment in 37.9. By expanding the money system, we will support female students to go on to science and engineering, aiming to raise the overall graduate school enrollment rate.
Shibaura Institute of Technology has taken various measures to contribute to the development of women in science and engineering, and the ratio of female undergraduate students, which was 2014% in 13.8, has now increased to 18.7%.The graduate school enrollment rate of female students also exceeded 2021% in 3. From 2022, a scholarship system was also started to provide the equivalent of the entrance fee (100 yen) to more than 28 female enrollees with excellent grades.From 2023, in order to encourage female students to go on to graduate school, a maximum of 1 will be provided to female students (16 in total) who have the highest academic performance in the scholarship system for the master's program. And will make more efforts to train science and engineering women.
From 2023, the scholarship system for the master's program of the graduate school will not only establish a "women's quota" but also renew the whole.Since multiple systems have been operated so far and it was complicated and difficult for students and parents to understand, we will consolidate them into two types from 2023.Under the new system "Master's Program Encouragement Benefit Scholarships (for those with high grades recommended by the department / including" Women's quota ")", the scope of scholarships will be expanded to include those with high grades in the master's course. In addition to a total of 2 million yen (2 yen per year) and 120 yen (60 yen per year), 60 yen (30 yen per year) will be paid to the top 50% of the academic achievements.In addition, in the "Global Science and Technology Human Resources Development Graduate School Benefit Scholarship (for TOEIC® L & R scores of 20 points or higher)", which will be a continuation system, 10 recruitment slots will be added to expand the number of eligible people.
In addition, we are considering adding a "women's quota" for benefit scholarships in the doctoral program at the graduate school, and will announce it on the Shibaura Institute of Technology website as soon as the content is finalized.
