Hajimemashite, Odeena desu!
Welcome to my little corner of the Web. Here, I will convey most of the information you need to know if you want to apply for a Monbukagakusho [or Monbusho for short] MEXT Scholarship – or, in other words, if you want to become a foreign student in Japan. Of course, you should always stay up-to-date with the latest news on the Embassy of Japan in your country’s website, or other orientation websites such as studyjapan.go.jp. At the same time, however, it’s best you try to find as much information and feedback from foreign students who are, or have been studying in Japan; I know from my own experience that this sort of information can be much more useful.
This blog offers a few basic guidelines about the procedures required to obtain a Monbukagakusho scholarship, the papers and formalities you require, as well as hints and tips about what you should oryou shouldn’t bring along, useful data about health, transportation and bureaucracy, details about campus life at Osaka University [where I currently study], and so on. You can browse information by category to easily find the sections you are most interested in. Should you have any further questions, feel free to contact me at odeena.skywalker@gmail.com or odeena_rockstar@yahoo.com.
Yoroshiku onegai shimasu!
