When I got to the embassy I was immediately called so I didn't have the chance to check. Oh that's not true, last year at lot of us qualified for the interview maybe about 15-20. I was one of the passers but failed at the final selection.Would you have any idea how many applicants qualified for the interview? Last year no one qualified for the undergrad scholarship. Seems like this year there are a number of bright and promising applicants.
Hello, how have you been? I am a new member of the forum. I have found the forum really helpful in many ways. The other day I posted a thread as to how I can get started learning Japanese for MEXT scholarship and I was provided with really helpful answers. But I still have a vague picture of what really MEXT is. From what I can gather, it is a scholarship catered for international students from all over the world who would like to study in Japan provided by the Japanese government. I am 18 years old and I have already completed a 12 year compulsory education in Uzbekistan. According to the website, those who are at the age of 17-22 can apply for MEXT which means I am eligible for it. After finding about MEXT, I decided to take a gap year which is not so commonplace in my country. But I would like to devote my one year to studying Japanese in order to win this scholarship. The thing is that I still have some questions regarding it. I would highly appreciate if you guys could answer them if possible.
1. I am not sure what fields "Technology student" scholarship incorporates. I am absolutely interested in Computer Engineering. Does it pertain to fields related to only Technology?
2. If I were to choose Technology student scholarship assuming it includes Computer Engineering, do I have to sit an exam from CHEMISTRY as well? What subjects are an obligatory part of this?
Overall, I would be more than happy if you could elucidate in detail what the benefits of applying for MEXT as an undergraduate student are.
Hi! I'm also a fellow Filipino applicant under the research category. I'm still waiting for the results. The departure schedule that I ticked in the application form was for April 2017. In the brochure that they gave to us, it stated that it's going to be sometime in August right? I'm a little worried and nervous actually, since August is about to end.Hi Fellow Filipino Applicants! Any news about the results of the Interview for Undergraduate?

Hi everyone! I'm so happy I stumbled upon this forum. I've been waiting in agony for the results of my scholarship application. I applied for the research category. You see, I've made it past the screenings last May and June. Thank heavens! I've already been interviewed and awaiting the results since they said notification will be sent around this time (August). I want to know if the scholarship committee of the Japan Embassy in my country (PHILIPPINES) will inform the applicant whether or not they passed the interview? If I'm not mistaken, this is the second to the last stage of the screening is that correct? Then once the embassy has recommended you, you will start to contact potential advisers (professors) who will aid you in your research and in the process you need to receive/secure a letter of acceptance from the university by December or January 2017 (is this the final stage?) before you finally depart for Japan. Then the pre-departure orientation is sometime in February or March..
Hello Distribu. Don't be disheartened. Everything happens for a reason. Also, IMO it would be much easier if you apply thru University Recommendation. Especially if you apply under Priority Programs. Kindly check my blog for further information re U.R.
It's a step by step process for Osaka U and MEXT Application. So just to give you an idea.

To be honest, if your embassy hasn't contacted you since you applied, it's probably bad news..we are currently one month away from the time the final results start coming out..As far as I know all countries are done with exams and interviews by late August.
I got my acceptance email two days ago. Is there anyone else? Do drop me a PM if you did as well.
I was hoping I could form a network of sorts for the 2017 batch of MEXT undergrad students, this is probably going to be done through facebook but do comment if you feel you are uncomfortable with sharing your personal profile.
Hi could you please provide some tips for passing the Documents screening part. I will be applying for the 2018 undergraduate scholarship here in the Phils. Unfortunately I will be a grade 12 student by June 2017. I am expected to graduate at March 2018. Will it be okay if I could not submit the direct placement, certificate of university enrollment, and the certificate of qualification of entrance examination passage?? It says in the official package that all documents must be submitted. I hope someone can help me in preparation this summer.Hiya! Just wanna say this is a thread for undergraduate and so the process differs between undergrad and research.. You may wanna try a research thread or calling your embassy and hope they give you a bit more info~
