With funding from the Japanese government, the ADB–JSP scholarship was created in April 1988 to improve the human resource capacities of developing Asian Development Bank member nations.

Also, participating university institutions in the Asia-Pacific region, seek to give highly qualified people of ADB’s developing member nations the chance to pursue graduate courses in economics, management, science and technology, and other development-related subjects.

However, scholars are encouraged to apply and disseminate their newly acquired knowledge and skills in their home countries to support socioeconomic development after completing their studies.
