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."
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?

Do you pocess great efficiency in the Japanese language?


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.

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.
