just finished my spm examination and currently applying for this scholarship. Is there any senior here which can help me. btw the application form can be downloaded here http://www.my.emb-japan.go.jp/English/JIS/...plication_U.doc

I see a lot of people posting this scholarship now days. Do you pocess great efficiency in the Japanese language?

nope, but can listen

zhenni, can you post more info about the scholarship? which site did you refer to?

http://www.my.emb-japan.go.jp/ here

Present status should be student (what else can you think of?)
Name of the school, there should be a table right? Just list down all the schools, that is, primary, secondary schools.
Employer, you might just leave it blank or leave a 'N/A' for 'Not Available' should you not work before, which I suppose is the case.

Field specialized. This column doesn't matter much. If you're feeling insecure, give them a call just to confirm. Calling makes you look more enthusiastic rather then being annoying.

Reasons...you don't have a reason for what majors you've selected?



You don't need one. Should you be able to obtain this scholarships, they would send you for a one-year Japanese Language Studies. The ability to understand japanese language is not even a criteria for selection.

Remember, every step in your application is important, be it a submission of application letter, a written test, an interview, etc. Show them your enthusiasm and knowledge in the majors you intended, as well as your understands about Japan as much as possible.

I will try to apply for postgraduate 2009.
Don't know whether it is easily get or not.

But only have JLPT level 4. Maybe the chance to get is lower than others.

For postgraduate scholarship you have to have good command in japanese whereas for undergraduate not necessary. However, competition is lesser for postgraduate scholarship.

The scholarship is for wat course?

Hello everyone....

Me..... Monbusho scholar long-long time ago......
Tell u all something man, it's all worth the trouble!!!
Dun listen to some ppl giving u shit about wasting time with
the language n stuff like that!!! Because, in the end, u'll
gain more than u lose.... Life in japan is fantastic.
With the scholarship, u won't have to worry financially too.
And u'll be the envy of all the private students there...
heheehe..... PM me if u need any additional info man!
Always here to help.

Agree. Imagine, you're doing a 5-year course (1 year Japanese + 4 year university). You learn your major, you become conversant in Japanese.

Now if you study locally or elsewhere, as long as it is in English, you spent 4 year generally, and you are bored with the English that you've been learning since primary school.

One additional year gives you an additional language skill.

So what the heck do I need Japanese for? Who knows what's gonna happen tomorrow.

Telling u all as a former Monbusho scholar lah.... it is well worth your 'extra' years 'wasted'
in Japan. Got free education, can get latest gadgets, can see different culture,
can meet with ppl from all over the world... No longer katak di bawah tempurung.
And all for....... FREEE!!!!!
U can apply for any course u want! And after your 5 yrs there, u can opt to extend
another 2 yrs of your scholarship to do your Masters....!!!
Don't worry bout life there. There are lots of caring seniors willing to assist u in any
way possible.

Hi i'm applying for the scholarship too.
I've a few questions here.
The "#6Chosen field of study in Japan"
- we fill in the majors listed out and number them according to our priorities right?

& how do you guys fill in for question#10? (Description of desired employment to be taken up after returning home)

OH yeah what about the name in native language? Does that mean we have to write our name in chinese?
