INTERNATIONAL MASTERS SCHOLARSHIP IN JAPAN
The major objective of the Public Finance Program is to provide students with the conceptual understanding and technical competence to become leaders in taxation and customs. The curriculum is designed for government officials from developing countries worldwide who are currently working in tax or customs administration or equivalent departments. In accordance with their background, students in this Program specialize in either tax or customs policy and administration. The Program provides rigorous academic training aimed at developing an understanding of the theoretical, empirical, and institutional aspects of tax and customs administration. Administrative aspects and reforms in the field of taxation and customs are studied and linked to developing countries’ economic and social development. A practicum at the National Tax Administration (NTA) or the Customs Training Institute (CTI) provides an opportunity for students to enhance their learning with hands-on experience in a tax/customs-related work environment and to integrate this experience with their formal education. Scholarships are provided by the joint Japan/World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program (JJ/WBGSP) and the World Customs Organization.

Dear / Sir
I am an Ethiopian having LLB with CGPA of 3.57. Currently I am in Oromia institute of justice and professionals training and research center as a trainee. I also have another BA degree in foreign language and literature (English Education) together with six years of teaching experience from elementary to preparatory classes. Yet I want to upgrade my educational level to second degree (LLM) or any second degree related to my field of study Because I strongly want to play a role in solving the problem in the administration of justice up on returning to my country. But I could not upgrade my qualification to LLM due to shortage of money. Because I used my resources exhaustively being a family man snatching from the mouths’ of my kids during my first degrees study. Therefore, I couldn’t stretch my hands farther to help myself. Please would you help me in realizing my dreams?
With best regard
