Just want to clear some info here. The big reduction which happens in this year, that means a total reduction of 11% MEXT students, is true. And a 11% reduction never happens before. When I looked at the previous reduction, the highest is a 4% reduction or something.ykk: Maybe they have changed the budget plan for 2011, and hidden the previous one from the website?
Embassies e-mailed us with information about significant decrease, but this pdf sais about "only" 11 percent reduce. I don't have any idea what's going on.
Those are really bad news ☝Just want to clear some info here. The big reduction which happens in this year, that means a total reduction of 11% MEXT students, is true. And a 11% reduction never happens before. When I looked at the previous reduction, the highest is a 4% reduction or something.
When we say 11% reduction, it refers to the whole MEXT students including the current ones studying in Japan. Because MEXT cannot cut them out of the scholarship, they can only cut the number of the new coming students. So a 11% reduction in the whole number means that a bigger reduction than 11% will happen among us the new batch.
If anybody still have some questions, pls feel free to say.
Furthermore, the preliminary results from MEXT could be out within 20 days from now since MEXT will be mostly likely to contact our university supervisors if we pass their screening. So not so much time of waiting for us now.

Hi karinkitoka, in my country, Mext says that applicants will learn Japanese about 6 months and all courses are taught by Japanese.
Great news!Those are really bad news ☝
The good news for me is that the professor informed me that I've already passed their screening and it's just a matter of time till I get their results
Now I have only one obstacle which is the final result...
Great news!
But I was wondering, didn't you submit the letter of acceptance from you university/professor? I thought that letter meant that you passed the screening of the university...
so if a person chose to go back to his country upon the completion of his programme, he couldnt continue the scholarship even with a different one?Same goes for anyone who used MEXT for Japanese Studies or Undergraduate or any of the other ones. If you've already been here on a government scholarship, finished the program, and gone home, you can't get another one unless you've taught/researched for 3 years, etc.
i realised it later, and so i changed the question.Samuro,
I think what akaitsume means is in the case you go to japan, come back to your country and then apply again. Por example: undergraduate -> come back, 3 years later -> Research student
The extention of the scholarship can be granted when you are *still* in Japan lets say from master -> PhD
(with all this budget reductions it might be difficult as some people mentioned before)
Great news!

Anyway, the other day I was talking to a member of this forum and we found some differences about the way we are going to recieve "the call"
I was expecting that the embassy would inform me if MEXT finally grants me the scholarships but he told me that his professor was going to make the final annoucement.
How is the procedure in your country?:?
I only heard about December announcements in this forum only. In my country the results come out in February and not a single month earlier.
Also, I'm surprised some of you talk about your professors as if they're your best friends or classmates.Mine are definitely not going to mail me about anything, they probably forgot they gave me LoAs. It took a month and a half for one of them to just sign the LoA, and another one asked me to inform him when I get the final results.
congratulations brotherFor me, we are a little friendly as I've been working in a research team in his university remotely for like 8 months. They kinda know me...
oh!karinkitoka, please don't use so crazy fonts here. We got e-mails from universities websites mostly.
