No news for me yet as well. Every email alert from this thread makes me nervous. I hope we'll all receive positive news soon!
I hope your weekend goes well,this is the most nervous timeLooks like MEXT already released the results.
I just logged in on the Online Application portal of the uni which shows the status of my application. I think the last time I checked it was last weekend, and still showed a 'Screening session ongoing' status. Now it is already showing 'Final Results'.
I have yet to receive an email from the uni so I don't know if I got the scholarship on not. I will email them on Monday or Tuesday to ask about the change in my application status.
My nervousness is now on its peak I think I have to refrain from drinking coffee.
Just some personal randoms as your reference. I am not sure if most Japanese universities accept deferral or not. So in case of not getting MEXT, you may contact admission office of your university to check further information, whether they will allow your deferral (if they have admitted your application already) till next year and will receive your re-application or not. Regarding scholarship or funding, you also may check with the university to find out. Some professors may be interested in your application and support a little, such as tuition fee or monthly allowance though it is not surely a full scholarship.This time is in July, so it may be late to apply for some scholarships when it is a bit of a rush to September term. You may check JASSO scholarships at Scholarships for International Students in Japan -JASSO to see whether their deadlines validate or expire. Then if you do not get MEXT this year and you are flexible about the place of study (I mean, apart from Japan, you could choose EU, US, Korea...) you may re-apply for some scholarships, especially full scholarships, which will open in end-year months, for the next year's term.Hey there!
I started to read all the posts but there are over 500... so I'm sorry if someone already asked this.
Anyway, let's say you apply to this scholarship through university recommendation and the university admits you but you dont get the scholarship, is it possible to enroll anyway and apply next year or to try some other scholarship?
I'm asking this because there was this time when someone said that at the interview they asked if the person would enroll even without this scholarship.

Hi I am new here...Sorry If i could not follow up all the posts...Just wanna know, in case embassy recommended MEXT fellowship could not be obtained, what is the procedure for University recommendation. I have talked to a professor and he's ready to take me, but not sure about results of MEXT...eagerly waiting..
Thanks b4lmungIn general, you have to contact the school (or professor) and submit the necessary documents. They might ask you to take the entrance exam or interview. After that, the screening committee will select and nominate the successful candidates to MEXT directly.
There is still no news from university since they sent me an email last week, stating I have not been granted their scholarship at this stage as the result is not yet available.anyone have any news from respective university?
