MEXT Scholarship through University Recommendation

Hai brothers and sisters!
I would like to ask you about MEXT scholarship. I am wondering whether all of you here are applying as master or research student? Actually, I am a little confused coz when I read about the MEXT memorandum, the period of scholarship is written from Oct 17-March 2019, while I am applying for 2-years master program. How about you?

I'm also thinking about that a few hours ago before you post this question. He he he. Basically, upon reviewing MEXT's website it says there that the usual number of years for Master's is up to 1.5 years, BUT, there are other courses that take up to 2 years maximum to complete. @黒カピテン

Hey Tsukubadai mate! I just received the confirmation by today. From my understanding, you need to enroll for Research Student first (normally 1-2 semester) then upon passing the entrance exam, you may start as Master Student or PhD Student (in my case). Then, you may extend the scholarship period if you haven't completed your master requirements.

@Ezuraru @

Let me rephrase what I said. This is what is stated in MEXT's website:

JAPANESE GOVERNMENT （MONBUKAGAKUSHO:MEXT）SCHOLARSHIP FOR 2015（RESEARCH STUDENTS）：文部科学省

The standard required duration of study is 2 years. In some field of study, the duration is less than 2 years, but more than 1 year.

Finally! Congratulation Ezu!!!! Hopefully, your study will be successful in Tsukubadai.
Thank you for your explanation. But, in my case T-LSI program require me to take entrance examination for master program this friday, I guess if my status will be Research Student first, I don't need to take entrance exam, right?

Okay I understand now your situation. Since you're applying as a Research Student(not Master's degree applicant), you will need to take their entrance examination, by all means. @黒カピテン
 
Help guys! I have one more question, when are you going to receive your documents to process? Mine will be around mid-July. How about yours? Hope we can update each other once you receive your documents. Thank you in advance for your responses. :)

hey there, i just received my certificate of scholarship from osaka yesterday.

waiting for august to process my visa

Is certificate of scholarship and letter of acceptance the same? Did they send it to you via Express mail?

I think they are different. I think certificate of scholarship is the proof that Japan government is the sponsor for your study in Japan and you will use it for applying visa, whereas letter of acceptance is proof that you are accepted in the university. I received letter of acceptance in April through DHL, and now waiting for MEXT official results in July. University will send me another parcel after final result come out.

As far as I remember you're under PGP am I right buddy?
 
Hello everyone!! First, congrats to everyone who got the scholarship and good luck for those who are still waiting(the PGP program)!! actually i received an email from my prospective supervisor at Nagoya uni on May 30 informing me that i got the MEXT scholarship !! YaY Me :<) !!! A few days after, the school of engineering sent me a document (Pledge) to sign it and send it back by airmail by June 20 (that is what i did!!). After that, the Uni will send me the "letter of acceptance"(the school sent me a guideline explaining everything that i should do) and before 1 August, i should contact the JP embassy in my country. So this is everything about the procedure i am gonna follow, i just wanted to share everything with you guys!!!
Good luck to everyone!!!!!
