Lustforlife Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I am wondering whether anyone on this board has applied for the Japan Foundation fellowship. Any news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaguyahime Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 This didn't draw any responses last year... Any takers this year? my future is history 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaguyahime Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Oh! When did you hear this, and how did you find out? my future is history 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my future is history Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 The letterhead is dated March 5, I received the letter through snail mail to the permanent address I indicated on the application. The letter got in on March 10. I know an alternate, who also received the letter around the same time. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I have to say if you haven't heard back yet it does not bode well... my future is history 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoopsie Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Haven't heard myself, but not overly optimistic since all of us applying for Japan related grants at my university found out that our crazy language prof wrote some diatriable on the lang evaluations about white people never being able to learn Japanese competently. Yeaaaahhhh.... sigh my future is history 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaguyahime Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hmm... It's apparent that I didn't get this, but I wonder why I haven't at least received a rejection, as their website says "by the end of March"? Anyone else receive an official rejection yet? my future is history 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my future is history Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Well, the letter seemed to be an "informal" notification from New York, with official notices coming from Tokyo in April. This may be what's going on. my future is history 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaguyahime Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Ah, that makes sense. Thanks again, mfih! my future is history 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopsie Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I actually wrote to inquire on Monday and was told that they hadn't decided on all of them yet, and that some folks wouldn't receive notification until they were sure- that they'd make the final decisions by today and then mail out a letter.

my future is history Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Nice~ Good luck! And sorry to hear about your language prof, that seems like a nightmare... my future is history 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaguyahime Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Thanks for your bold move, whoopsie. It is nice to know that the JF isn't completely impossible (since I already assumed I had been rejected). (one more thing to worry about now...)

kaguyahime Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 For future applicants and wonderers: Received official rejection today (4/12), by "real" mail, to current address. Best of luck to official recipients! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwerty55 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hi anthrotime, I received the results (accepted) via post on Monday (the 21st). The envelope was postmarked from Tokyo on the 16th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doxie-chan Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 For what it's worth, two responses arrived by mail to members of my department on Tuesday (one rejection, one acceptance). I haven't heard anything yet, which is making me pretty legitimately crazy. Good luck to everyone who applied! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scribby Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I applied to the Japan Foundation this year. Anyone have any news? Another website had a post reporting an unofficial acceptance letter on 3/22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amayadoli Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Greetings, all! Since resurrecting this thread seems to be a yearly (biyearly?) tradition, I thought I would do the honors this time. Has anyone else applied to the Japan Foundation fellowship this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlwithac Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I applied this year too. Did you hear back yet? Still waiting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
