I'm in the same boat financially... But I'm going to do the check up on Monday or Tuesday. I'll give the USD equivalent and you can do the conversion.[/QUOTET
They should only ask for a physical after the selection process as medical bills are extremely expensive, to pay so much and possibly end up not being selected for even the examination process is such a waste.
This whole experience has been a tough and stressful one as I almost applied with the old forms as I didn't realize they were out of date a few months ago(filled them out and was about to post it) and collecting the documents is kinda harsh too if you live far from your high school.......but I guess it will all be worth it possibly if we get selected!
Good luck to everyone!!!!!
Oh sorry everyone I forgot to ask....I live extremely far from the South African Embassy and will have to fly to the embassies location.....sigh more money.I'm wondering how much time do they give when notifying you and how they do it email/post as booking a flight far in advance is needed.Anyone else having these kinda problems?
Thank you guys! I have to study Chemical, Math, English, Japanese and Biology.
The test is difficult? I mean I kind of sucks in math...So, if I do well in the others subjects I got a chance to go to the next step of the program?

Hmm, here in America I heard they contact us by email on when the testing and interviewing is which is generally around the first week of August for us. So I suggest to ask your embassy for a general timeline of the application process.
For example, for my area it's:
July- Applications due
August- Testing and Interviews
February- Scholarship recipients notified
March- Accommodation, plane ticket, etc. sorted out
April- Depart to Japan
I believe that's the general timeline for my area. So just look on your embassy's website/call and ask how the process usually goes.Good luck! Hope to see you in Japan next April
From what I understand, you give the recommender the form along with an empty envelop. On the envelop, you will write your name and address. After the person has sealed the recommendation form in the letter, he will write his signature across the seal to prove that it has not been tampered with.
Hmmm that's really weird, they could possibly send the exams but what about the interview, would the people at the consulate do it?
Just be prepared for worst case scenario and prepare to go to Trinidad Keshant so it wont take you by surprise and waste all your hard work.
Thanks for the 2012 and 2013 past exams really helpful, things seem to be easier than before hopefully we all get something similar......does anyone know Japanese I have been learning it for quite a while yet I still cant do the Japanese exam.(its the equivalent of JLPT N5 right?)
Keshant you should be prepared to travel to Trinidad like how Brendz said. My consulate is far away too. it's probably like an hour and a half drive. But I hope you get it though especially if you're going through all that work of flying there.
Really, really sorry for filling up this page with my questions but I keep stumbling on more problems!!!!! On the guidelines it says you need 1 original recommendation form and 1 copy but if its sealed in an envelope how do you make a copy? and even your school transcripts you need 1 original and 1 copy......do you make 2 copies take one to your school and get it stamped and that makes it an original because if I hand over my originals what am I supposed to do for South African universities.
Guys... My embassy just told me complete fluency in Japanese is needed for me to be considered for the Undergraduate Scholarship.... Is this the case for anyone else? I feel like my whole world is crashing down because of that sentence :\

I also called my embassy (in Trinidad) and they told me the same thing which has me confused. I'm not too sure if its something specific to this region or if it's just their misunderstanding. Anyone who wants PDFs for Genki 1 and 2 (Japanese textbooks) I'll gladly send it via Skydrive/Onedrive. Here is my email if you want the books: brad_cool@live.comGuys...
