MEXT Scholarship for Postgraduate 2011: General Discussions.

Congrarulations to those who has been contacted by Prof or University
Hic I have not received any information yet! God bless me!
 
I have some news. Today I had a brief talk with the local person who is responsible for the post-graduate program. I was told that just a few days before the embassy was about to send to MEXT the usual number of recommended candidates and all their documents and LoAs (11 people initially), MEXT suddenly asked them to recommend only 8 candidates. Therefore 3 people dropped in the last moment and their documents were not sent (despite some of them having already received their LoAs). Luckily, I'm in those 8, but I don't know what will happen in the next selection to be conducted by MEXT.
So I guess that's what happened in all countries - MEXT suddenly asked the embassies to send less recommended candidates than initially planned. My question now is, does anyone know if MEXT usually gives the scholarship to all the candidates recommended by the embassies, or they usually cut out some more people?
In your case, I think you will get it without question since your embassy has alrdy cut the number according to MEXT's budget reduction.

When I asked the lady at the education section of Japanese Embassy, She said that there is no such thing as budget cut from MEXT =_=
I don't know if this is an act of trying to hiding it from applicants or maybe MEXT really didn't notify Indonesia Japanese Embassy at all? Or maybe MEXT didn't cut any applicants from Indonesia? (hoping that such a dream would come true :D:D)
 
I also hope that there is no such a thing in Vietnam, too:sorry:

I hope as both of you hope and I think it will be a great thing but I had already received a formal letter from the embassy indicating that they are going to reduce the number, I do not want to disappoint any person but that what happen for me, I wish the opposite will happen and they are going to retract what they said,I hope so and I wish good luck for every person:?:?:?:?

my major is biomedical science, i m applying Tokyo medical and dental university :-)

In malaysia we received no information about the budget cut, the ranking by embassy or the embassy people actually did not send our documents to mext... so i am not sure how good or how bad the situation is.

but i believe that we have been in waiting since so many months ago. so unless we receive official announcement from mext, we shdnt give up so quickly

I think that the only thing that we could do is to continue our life as normal as was in the past.. however this is some kind of difficult u.u Therefore, we have to pray and put all to God's hands.. also ask for patience. I am electronic Engineering but I would like to follow my post graduate studies in Mechanical engineering, in the department of bioengineering at Tohoku univ. What about you my friend?

My major is biomedical science and to be more specific, the field of stem cell I did not get acceptance from Kyoto University, but actually I got one from Kumamoto University Institute of embryology and genteics these are only the two universities that are wotking in the field of iPS cell or induced pluripotent stem cell..:?

wow, stem cell is the field I want to enter when I was thinking about making my mext proposal, but since I cannot find a suitable professor and university (maybe I didn't search hard enough :p), so I switched to biodegradable plastic.

They agree with my proposal, however I thought they are going to refuse it from the first sight, but may be I am lucky they agree with it and unlucky as I omitted from the regular candidate list:?:?

What a nice surprise!.. My research plan is about molecular robots based on DNA.. science is really interesting, Biology rocks! lol :)
PD. I wish with all my heart we all people get the scholarship for sure

I've just received an email from my professor
MEXT requested him to confirm that I'm accepted in the university and whether they have the capacity to accommodate me; and he replied with: YES!
Now I just have to wait for the final approval from MEXT....

Congratulations FiFo 👍
Don't worry about the final approval.
 
I applied to University of Fukui (not Fukuoka!)
I'm already conducting Neural Networks research with them....

Keio University It is fantastic University, However it is private, it has ahigh rank in biomedical field, I tried to apply but I select a national university as It cost less money and left Keio as it is private:?
 
Hi Risa, I'm for Keio. Still no news :(
