i am trying to apply this scholarship but i am having some trouble filling some information

what do i fill in question #4 "Present status with name of the school attended , or of employer"
#8 "field of study specialized in the past at your high school or university"
#10 "Reasons for majoring in the field of study described in item 7."




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?

How about Master course? Is the research student scholar available now? Only research student is offered?

wow...u're one lucky guy...
I applied but didn't got it...mayb the competition is very tough nowadays...
I applied after my SPM and were competing with those from STPM

Got a question here on its field of study...

FIELD OF STUDY

Social Sciences and Humanities
Law, Politics, Economics, Business Administration, Pedagogy, Sociology, Literature, History,
Japanese Language and et cetera.


i was wondering of this et cetera option.....does anyone have the full list of field of study in social scineces and humanities?I am planning to take recording arts/audio engineering....

btw...im applying for degree since ryte now i'm doing my diploma in mechatronics at utmkl...

You can get a copy of list of majors and minors in Japan University 2007-2008 in JAGAM (PJ SS2)
I don't think I have it at home.

What is the minimum SPM result in order to be eligible?

LOl, I'm intrested in this scholarship..
but is culinary arts even in it? i can't find the full list >_>

if you read the guideline properly you will see that it depends on the choice of field you wish to study in. essentially your important subjects must get A, that's it. ^^

fcfreak

ok, i got 6a1 n 3a2 in my spm2008, so wats the chance for me to get it?

No idea?
You have to go sit for the selection test.
Everyone who applies can sit for it.
So far, I haven't heard of any fresh SPM grads who got it, mostly those studying form 6 or pre-u.

Ive applied this scholarship and received a written letter from it that asks me to go for a selection test next week . Anyone here who's going for it ? Is it true that EVERYONE who applies for this scholarship will have to take this test before being shortlisted ?

Anyone here with further info on this award or perhaps was a scholar of this award, please PM me . I have a few questions to ask , if u dun mind . Thanks in advance .

Oh it's closed. I want to go Japan too .

When is the test?
I apply but did not get letter(hopefully yet)

you didnt get the letter???
what you use to apply???STPM result???
how was your result??

The level of the test is quite similar to form 6 level test. So most fresh school leavers usually dont get past test selection.

spm

can i apply this using a-level result??

i think this scholarship is more toward stpm and alevel....for undergraduate

for everyones information: the application period for this year is already over.

Application period is between (mid)March - (early)April.
- As long as you have passed SPM you may apply. SPM, A-lvls, STPM, Diploma
(for Undergraduate - 3000 student apply - 4 get chosen if I'm not mistaken)
-Posses a degree? Apply for Post-Graduate.
(if compared to undergraduate - success rate much higher)

I wonder how's the english test level. and is japanese language proficiency gives me an advantage? Trying to squeeze as much japanese as I can before the written exam.

*received letter post grad application.

Only 4 out of 3000 applications ??? * faints *

Every year changes.
From what I see is about 2000+, choose <10..

Anyway, anyone finds Chem and Phy tough?
Have been struggling for the subjects, ah!!

It's not impossible. Just try your luck. =P
According to F6 people, the test is generally quite easy.

Im planning to skip the Jap paper . Anyone here skipping that as well ??

Is there any bond attached on the scholarship?
What is the requirement for postgrad application?

just write your name on that paper,
then you can leave.
They will know that you dont know japanese

finish?? any comment about that??

Format changed.

English and Chemistry are alright.
Physics are a bit too crazy, but should be okay if given enough time.
Maths are a bit tricky, too.
Overall, Physics and Maths weren't good.

lol....my friend told me math is hard...he cant answer more than 2 of the shortest Q...

he say only few aceptable looking gals all nerd....lol..wtf

Yes, indeed.
I believe the easier one is the sequence one.. and I told you, I took some time to just recall it la.. Too long didn't touch those questions already.

Maths last year was okay, but this year very hard.
Formats changed was unexpected.

Last year still can do a bit of Japanese, those involving Kanji..
This year..

It was my first time sitting for it and yeah , did the format changed ? For maths I mean ? Arggghhh .. My Maths !! Rotten !
