The academic fields stated in the announcement are not merely examples. Only applicants majoring in the specified fields are eligible to apply. However, applicants in interdisciplinary fields may apply if their major is considered relevant. In such cases, please clearly and specifically describe the connection between your fields of study and your suitability for the program in your study plan.

A separate list of eligible universities is not publicly provided. The Foundation will determine whether a university is considered a top-ranking institution in each field based on internal criteria, referring to evaluation sources such as QS Rankings and U.S. News & World Report.
