msafiri Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 So, I'm sort of thinking about applying for one of these because it seems like a great way to get to go study and live in Japan for a year, even though I don't know any Japanese. It seems like I would have to do a full degree, either MA or PhD, which could be complicated by the fact that I'm currently enrolled in a PhD program. Has anyone applied for one in the past or knows more about the program and applying? I'd really appreciate any advice and comments I can get. For those of you that haven't heard of it, see here for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lingmom Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 My son is considering applying for this as well. He has not done so yet, but here are two resources you might find useful: 1. Monbukagakusho Prep. Guide http://www.graduateinjapan.com/ 2. Blog entitled "How I Got the Monbusho Research Scholarship" http://larsmartinson.com/how-i-got-the-monbusho-research-scholarship-part-1-of-4/ Good luck!

green_tea09 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I applied for and was awarded the Monbukagakusho a couple years ago (to study at Tsukuba University) but turned it down to pursue a PhD at a top ranked university. You don't need to have Japanese language skills in order to be awarded the grant. In fact, my grant came with several months of language courses before the research portion of the grant. Anyway...if there are any questions I could answer please feel free to PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time_consume_me Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 This remains the only thread about this scholarship. I applied yesterday. Anyone have any experiences with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
