Not entirely sure what you are asking... Are you an American currently in Japan trying to find some sort of scholarship for Japanese language study? That's kind of the gist that I got from what you wrote. If so, you should really speak with the school you are currently attending or planning on attending to find out more info re: eligibility requirements, what's available, reimbursement options, etc.

Think it would be possibe for someone in the Nishi region might want to swap with you ? Might be worth checking to see if something could be worked out.

Chances for getting into the shinjuku area are pretty bad, any reason why you want to go there in particular? If its just cause you want to go to shinjuku your best just aiming for Kanto as a whole.
Like people said, we cant do much for you, talk to the school, they would be able to do the most for you. Unless someone in here owns an exchange company and is holding out on me......

A scholarship to study in Japan? First of all I'm not a expert on this but I did look up many sites on studying in Japan as a high school student, College, University, and just a normal gaijin school.
High school is exchange and maybe they will pay your plain ticket or uniform and they cost about 7 000$USD.
As for College and University I saw some scholarships available but you had to be 19 and I'm not so I didn't really pay much attention and some SAT numbers were posted that made me confused. And there quite expensive the cheapest I saw was 7 500$USD and they highest was 25 000$USD and that's one semester not including housing. And these are in Osaka and Tokyo so that's not were you want to go.
As for the gaijin schools I didn't see any scholarships only a little slogan that said " We match any price" bs... I called them and I told them a way better price and they said " **** we can't match that I suggest you take that deal!" I would of taken that deal if they accepted druggies aka people on medications.
Oh ya I just wanted to mention to you that if your planning of doing this trip with only the money you get from a scholarship think again since you gotta find a place to live, eat, and I'm pretty sure that they won't cover the whole studying cost well if your a suppa scholar maybe.

--; ok this is how the scholorships work man. This is exactly what the japanese exhange consile in the usa works. They provide information on scholorships. They give a fatty book in the mail. You read it. Each scholorship have the limited amount of course like any other do.
Then you have "allowance" which stupid usa scholorships don't have. "Allowance" covers for whatever you feel like spending it on. Most scholorships i read didn't say they will not provide food and only pay for schooling. It clearly states on it. Will cover cost of living, schooling, housing , and allowance. I understand why they give you allowance becuase you can't work in jpn as a foreign student unless you have super grades
Please don't take this as rude ok? I am not trying to be at all just telling you what i read from the info provided from me from the japanese information exchange place. Located in LA, USA.
BTW the one scholorship for language schools long japanese word . I cannot apply for becuase im over 21. So its to late for that but they provide another one for research. But i am not ready for a big japanese U i Need the language first

Not a chance. Since your over 21 you'd have to do Uni (if you go to uni you would do a japanese course taught in english) or pay for a private japanese language school.
Next best thing is to work in japan in a company like Geos or Nova, teaching english and learning japanese in your spare time.
