Desk notes
Quote is from the OIST Admissions page (admissions.oist.jp redirects to oist.jp/admissions). No time of day stated, so treat 14 Nov as the safe date. The page also lists the Research Internship with 'Application Deadline: October 15, 2026' (closed, not shipped). I could not fetch the stipend figure because the financial-support page returns 404, so pay is the page's own 'fully-funded' line. A PhD fellowship, not a scholarship; editor may prefer the 'PhD fellowships' sub.
