Scholarship alert! Here's an example of what I'm talking about, having to "get creative".

If you're a young person, please take your education seriously. Make it a priority to become knowledgeable, articulate, and to develop the type of drive Loretta displayed in her video. Such skills yield many benefits, and provide a solid foundation for the rest of your life.
I'm working really hard in school I don't care if I'm 14. But when I tell people that I want to go and study abroad in Japan they just tell me that I'm to young and then laugh at me. But I don't care I will do it even if it kills me I will make it to Japan. And if there's anyone else with the same dream, don't be afraid of what other people think go for it and prove them wrong. God bless🙏
@@polly_9688 It sounds to me like you're already taking your education seriously. You already quite articulate, especially for a 14 year old. And, you clearly have drive. I have no doubt you're on the right track to make all of your dreams come true. You just need to, as they say, "stick the landing".
Sorry if I sound rude, but it makes me angry when people say they wanna study abroad but don't even bother to look up scholarships opportunities when they are from big countries like the USA. If you aren't able to do an active Google search from home or going to your Embassy, how are you gonna even survive in another country?? I've been trying to study abroad for +5 years but since I am not a native English speaker, and I live in a tiny countryside town in a "third world country" all I can do for now is, as you said, intensive Google search and set up Google Alerts until something shows up. Don't lose hope and keep searching, people! And good luck Loretta! :)
Unfortunately, as a single, white, male, that can't afford university, there are very few scholarship opportunities for me... Almost not even worth looking...
A Quick Note about THE SITUATION THIS YEAR: The travel and school situation in Japan has taken a turn this week. This video was filmed a few weeks ago, and at this point I worried about the timing of uploading this video. HOWEVER I've come to the decision that the topic is all the more relevant ESPECIALLY in the light of those people looking to skip 2020 and travel or go abroad next year. These are tips to stay ahead of the curve, which means a year or MORE in advance. Even if not looking to Japan, these are the tips to help you use this year as a time to assess and prepare for what to do in the future. That being said, all is well on my end and I hope to have a more in depth chat with you in the comments below and in the next vlog! Please stay safe, keep your eye on travel notices from WHO and your country, and if you're feeling especially grim (like me), remember that things WILL go on soon.
Girll I wouldn't know what I'd do if your channel didn't exist. Since scholarships aren't really a thing or talked about in my country, it just never crossed my mind that I'd be able to get one too. Before watching your video, going to Japan seemed nearly impossible financially wise... I'm totally motivated now to work hard en study for my JLPT :)
I’m studying abroad in Nagoya in April and everything’s getting so chaotic because of the virus ;; I was planning to tour Tokyo with my family but now my family is staying home and I’m rebooking my flight directly to Nagoya.. I’m still really excited! The timing of it all just sucks :( But good luck to others looking to study abroad in Japan!
Kawaii-_- Peanut I’m 13 and I’m planning on studying aboard to Japan 😄 I want to make some friends that want to study aboard but that’s kinda hard 😓 I’m learning Japanese right now 😁 but keep going! You can do it 🤩👍
I'm really passionate about going to Japan but unfortunately, I'm kinda dumb and I have no skills. So unless Japan suddenly gets a huge need for librarians, I don't think I stand a chance.
Everything was already planned for me to study abroad this year but yeah, if the level increases from 2 to 3 then my study abroad plans will be canceled until next semester...I just hope they won't be canceled for good at this point :(

Thank you for this video! I’m graduating from community college this spring, and I’ve been looking at japan study abroad opportunities for when I transfer to a four year university. :)
Thank you for making this video! I just had a meeting with my abroad adviser yesterday and we started talking about scholarships but i didnt even know where to start, and I have a hard time putting why I want to go to Japan into words because I'm in fine arts, it gave me a lot to think about and how to present my feelings
Maybe you can say that you're inspired by the country's history and tie it into you fine arts study. Talk about their craftsmanship, unique ink art, calligraphy, etc and that you want to study it in the country, rather than attend classes that only (or mostly) discusses European artists?
This came at the right time. I'm a working adult applying for an industry school abroad (not Japan) and looking around for scholarships. I'm not totally clueless since I've done this twice before, but finding funding for an adult over 30 is tough, so this video was a nice, and timely, pep talk.
Thank you, I am a freshman in college, already picked a double major in Japanese and Asian Studies to maximize the justification of wanting to study abroad, as these are both things I am interested in regardless. My advisors told me I can study abroad next year (spring 2021), if I feel I’m ready.
@@inneveri6507 I wasn’t able to because of COVID closing Japan, I think it’s still closed. I ended up needed to take a leave of absence last year and this year due to my mental health deteriorating during lockdown and other extenuating circumstances with my family. I hope to return in a couple years

Thank you for another great video! I'm really looking forward to the next one. Right now I'm planning on applying to the MEXT scholarship this year, so I'm doing what I can to prepare in advance. I hope everyone finds the resources that work best for them! 頑張ってください！
KemushiChan you're such an inspiration for following my dreams! I hadn't thought to use some of the keywords that you mentioned. Now I'm looking at other scholarships for research in case I don't secure MEXT -some of these are particular to my field, which makes it more exciting! This video motivated me to begin a broader search for jobs more atuned to my goals. It's always great to see how hard you work, and your positive attitude, thanks for sharing with us
Thank u so much! Sometimes we all forget small things when we work with information a lot. So, for me it was "google alerts"... why do I forget to use it? aaaaaa
Thanks for the tips. I'm from USA and I'm 35 so I am a bit too old for most scholarships. My current University is small and online and has no study abroad office or program so the struggle is real.
Thank you for this :) I'm curious If scolorships from your home country still apply to you If your already residing In Japan temporarily? Can I apply for my home scholarships (US) If I own a Japanese residency Card?
dang your dog is so cute, i was so distracted during the intro anyways, this is another great video! i'm currently aiming for the MEXT scholarship as a research student and it's been quite stressful but hopefully things will work out. my goal is to basically live and work in japan for a veeeeeery long time. hopefully MEXT can help me get to japan and give me the time i need to further my studies as well as looking for a job and a longterm place to stay. but besides MEXT, are there any other programs for graduate students or potential opportunities to move to japan? i'm looking forward to your next videos about jobs and how to maintain your visa status!
I start University tomorrow so this gave me a lot to think about, I'm doing a Bachelor of Arts Majoring in Japanese so I definitely want to study abroad in Japan at some point. I should really start looking into Scholarships as I doubt I'll really be able to afford to go without one. My University has 5 partner Universities in Japan so I got some options, hopefully I'll be able to go next year.
@@AlexTraynor-xk7hs oh wow, the last 4 years have been kinda crazy. Two weeks after starting university my whole city good shutdown due to the global pandemic which threw my plans off by a couple years. After a year of online classes my university at the time decided to cut all the language programs so I had to do cross institutional study for a year to get my Japanese units which wasn't great so I ended up just switching university in 2022. I'm now studying international studies, still with Japanese as my major. Last year I completed an exchange program at a university in Kanagawa for two semesters which I got a mobility grant for
I received a scholarship from the Japanese government and MEXT which is set to depart on April, but the virus thing is really getting me worried. They said my flight might be delayed...but fair enough, I don't want to go there just to transmit a disease xD
Hi Loretta! If you can answer this question or if anyone can, it would be greatly appreciated! I want to apply for MEXT this year (2023) but I don't graduate until June 16 (I get my diploma and all that). Does that mean that I have to apply for the year 2024 or can I still apply for the 2023 year and go to japan this year to start studying? Thank you!
HELLO YOUR AMAZING! I’m a sophomores high school and have a budget of 7,000 dollars usd I want to go to japan for my junior year but I go to a very small school with no resources I would love help. I feel like i’m trying to read a book while in blind and I don’t know where to start. Do you know of any programs for high school students?
Man, isnt it stressful jus thinking about applying for MEXT scholarship? I really want to go to Japan, i want to study while having to enjoy their culture, seriously, but i have financial issues. Eventhough i still have a year to go in high-school, but still its really bugging me how much im not able to get that scholarship. Btw, i plan to take up biomed in my degree.
I wish to apply for an undergraduate in Japan but of a different course of study from what I did in polytechnic/high school. I did not have outstanding grades, do you know if I can use just my portfolio without showing my results/grades/GPA since it is a of a totally different course? As I do need time to build up my portfolio, I am worried that I am not eligible for it due to the huge time gap. Also, I have no idea "artist residency programs" exists. This video is extremely informative, thank you so much!!
hi this is weird but could you make a more in depth video about paying off debt from Japan? I want to move to japan after college or hopefully get accepted by mext for graduate school and I'm sure im gonna have debt after college 😭
I plan on trying to go to Japan my first year of high school, am I to late? I am nearing the end of my 8th grade year now. I don't have the money to go without the help.
A few months late to this party, however... I am researching the MEXT scholarship, and am interested in applying for the Research Scholarship. I have found schools I would like to go to, I have been studying Japanese for a while (and will continue to learn until I pass N1), my GPA is great, and I have no worries...except when it comes to forming a research topic. I am a Business major as well, with a concentration in accounting, but will pursue my Master's in Business. My question is how do I create a thesis worthy of the scholarship? Also, I have a side question, they prefer this to be written in Japanese, if possible, but if I am unable to do so, do they look down on that? Thanks for all your help and videos!! They are helping me figure everything out!
Random question, I have always wondered this but how did you come up with KemushiChan as your channel name.? After I watched your last MEXT video back in August, I started to go full throttle into it. Before January even began, I wrote out everything I have to do for MEXT scholarship and by when. I want to have everything ready, prepared, I probably sound like a broken record by now by how much I talk about wanting to study in Japan. My old department head probably finds me annoying with how many emails I exchange with them in regards to it. But I mean, heyyyy~ Every now and then though, I have to take a break because my anxiety levels start to get whack-o. I do something to relax me, be creative, watch RUclips videos, etc. Something that helps me get back into my mind space.
Thanks for sharing. The video was very informative. Please be safe. Wishing you the best. Hope Boomer's job hunting is going well considering the restrictions due to the virus.
Was in the middle of applying to Temple in Tokyo, but the VA pulled all GI Bill funds (for veterans) so now I guess if anything I will go to a language school to get my foot in the door and move from there.. got any tips for me?
Hi, this has really helped me to give me a little more info. Are most scholarship programmes usually looking for people who already have degrees from universities? I never been to uni (I'm 23) Im looking for any open or creative programmes that gives work experience or work as an intern in a general creative company and gain experience through that way instead. Could you give some tips or advice please? Thanks! :)
I would recommend college that way by then you should have at least an idea what you want to do in life. In high school just enjoy being home and enjoying those little special moments near home.😊
Can you do a video on how to stay in Japan and live , I don’t wanna study because I already do marketing I just wanna know how to live in Japan and travel and how the housing and Food life is I’ve been studying the Economy and it’s really good in my opinion but over all what can a person do if they just wanna live in Japan and just do like maybe RUclips and travel around ? Please please Answer because I study Japanese I just don’t know what to do if I went and need help on the little stuff omg I’m so excited hopefully this isn’t random 🤝😁
Hi, Im in college right now. It's my first year. I'm planning to go to Japan to study for a semester. Do you think MEXT Scholarship is eligible for me? I'm lost.
I have a question for the MEXT scholarship that I hope you could answer. I was wondering if there's an undergraduate course for teaching english. I really want to teach in a Japanese highschool. I hope you could answer me thank you. I love your videos btw.
MEXT is just a scholarship you use to pay for the school of your choice in Japan, so the answer is a google search. First you search for universities in Japan and find one that has an English teaching program. Then if that accepts MEXT then you apply with that school as one of your top choices. It might also just be easier to get a foreign teaching degree and come here as an English teacher, but good luck to you!
Hi Kemushi I'm a new sub here and regarding the MEXT scholarship, im looking towards doing natural sciences. The examinations i must do are bio and chem, but i don't do chem in high school. Is it still possible for me to do MEXT if ive never done this subject? Do you have an tips? Thanks 😊
Hey, Miss Kemushi I'm a Garde-10 student but still haven't finished it yet due to my country problem cuz I'm from Myanmar. Is there any chance of getting a scholarship as a high school student because my relatives are there I know it's kinda late but I would be very glad if u answer my question 😊❤
I would ask your school's student center or similar resource. At the moment no new travellers are allowed into Japan so it might not be possible for at least another year.
@@kemushichan T0T I'm DEAD I just want to get out from my country 😢😢😢 cuz situation is getting worse day by day T0T so what about answering IELTS and JLPT N5 to N2?
@@JFel3373 Unfortunately that's just the world right now. Best bet in general would be to save and prep (the tests you mentioned, etc) as much as you can now. IELTS especially won't hurt!
Do you have any tips or information for programs for a recently graduated college who really want to move to Japan in the near future? Thanks for the help :)
KemushiChan ロレッタ Do you have any advice or videos on jobs in Japan. I know the JET program is the best way to get there but I have a degree in business Administration so if possible, I would like to go in that direction. I am also open to other fields as well.
What if I’m Already graduated from college? :( I’m a dual citizen(US and Germany) any suggestions as to what to Google? I want to truly study japanese and live there like you
@@kemushichan I have looked into it a little but it’s confusing about when the deadline is if I wanted to start end of summer or fall 2022 if that’s even possible - also my undergrad was self designed (called university studies but contained courses in health, nutrition, psych, languages and cultures) so I have no idea if I had a chance. I also have many interests and don’t know how to narrow down what to focus my research on…. Ideas?
@@kemushichan oh, interesting. I want to go for January 2023 but I don't know if I'll get the required amount of money by then. Do I need to have the right amount before applying to the scholarships? Btw, this is the most useful video I found about this. Great job doing it and thanks for replying!!
If you want to apply for Mext Undergraduate Scholarship, should you do so during your junior year of high school since you leave the following April or do you apply in you senior year?
Hi, KemushiChan! I'm writing to you because I want to ask you a recommendation... I'm in my first semester of Biomedical Engineering at a latin american university , but now I want to apply for a Monbukagaksuho scholarship in the undergraduate level. My mom wants me to study Medicine (we recently did some paperwork to do so), but I don't think I have the economic and emotional stability to pursue a degree like that. Therefore, I want to apply for a MEXT scholarship this year and then study a major related to Literature or something like that... The thing is that I am not sure if that is a good idea or not. I mean, I watched this video and you say you apply after you graduated from an US university. Is it better if I graduate and then go to Japan? Or it would be good if I study a undergraduate career in Japan? Do you know some stories of success in the last case? From your perspective, what option would be better? I hope you see this and I'm sorry for the gramatical errors. Thanks for reading anyway!
Every one keeps saying after university I want to go to college in japan .that possible????like I want to to start college sopmore year in japan I’m a high school leaver
@@kemushichan so I can’t study in a college after high school in japan or just most people don’t but it’s very possible I want to be sure so I can know if I should start looking for other countries
@@Sharon.M.B in many cases, you can but the problem is the entrance exam system is very different. You often need to be in Japan at your school campus taking the exams, doing interviews, checking results on campus (printed on paper and posted on a bulletin board), filling out forms for many months before the actual exam, so you need a visa just to be here for about a year in advance. That's why most people apply for the MEXT scholarship, it's one of the few that knows this and gives you a "kenkyuusei" status via student visa to get ready and take the exam while you're in Japan. Otherwise, if you're not Japanese, you can't stay long enough with an address etc to actually take the exam. Then you have to actually PASS the exam, in Japanese.
i'm planning to apply for an undergraduate mext scholarship next year but i'm scared that my grades from my past years would pull me down...because when i was grade 7 to grade 10 i didn't study that hard...it's only when i reached grade 11 that i got As 😔😔
Hello ma'am I am from Nepal and want to study computer engineering basically graphical designing in Japan.i am financially unable to make my dream true. I just need your help to come there , would you please suggest me some scholarship currently available in japan .
ok, so I am starting at a University in the fall that has a study abroad program, so ... you know. Fingers crossed and all that. But I also have a wife and one year old daughter that the program will not pay for, so I'm looking around for scholarships. Have you come across anything that doesn't have an age limit (I am...let's just say over 30). I'm going to follow your advice but was wondering if you came across something like that.
hi. i want to ask if you have an idea about this, if you have bachelor's degree in your country, is it okay if you will apply for another bachelor's degree through MEXT? or will it lessen the chances of passing the scholarship? thank you.

This came at the right time. I'm a working adult applying for an industry school abroad (not Japan) and looking around for scholarships. I'm not totally clueless since I've done this twice before, but finding funding for an adult over 30 is tough, so this video was a nice, and timely, pep talk.
Best of luck in your search!!!
thank you so much for this video! this has encouraged me not only to keep looking for scholarships in Japan, but in other places as well
This has given me the will to apply to more scholarship! Applied to a few will apply more! Hope I can go to Japan this summer!
May I ask what you are going to study? ☺️
Thank you, I am a freshman in college, already picked a double major in Japanese and Asian Studies to maximize the justification of wanting to study abroad, as these are both things I am interested in regardless. My advisors told me I can study abroad next year (spring 2021), if I feel I’m ready.
Did u?
@@inneveri6507 I wasn’t able to because of COVID closing Japan, I think it’s still closed. I ended up needed to take a leave of absence last year and this year due to my mental health deteriorating during lockdown and other extenuating circumstances with my family. I hope to return in a couple years

thankyou so much for these informations and help!
I went to university near to the Tenri institute for four years and I thought it was just art, I never knew they taught Japanese lessons until now!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience!
I love you and your channel very much, thank a lot!!
What she said!
Thank you for another great video! I'm really looking forward to the next one. Right now I'm planning on applying to the MEXT scholarship this year, so I'm doing what I can to prepare in advance. I hope everyone finds the resources that work best for them! 頑張ってください！
KemushiChan you're such an inspiration for following my dreams! I hadn't thought to use some of the keywords that you mentioned. Now I'm looking at other scholarships for research in case I don't secure MEXT -some of these are particular to my field, which makes it more exciting! This video motivated me to begin a broader search for jobs more atuned to my goals. It's always great to see how hard you work, and your positive attitude, thanks for sharing with us
Thank u so much! Sometimes we all forget small things when we work with information a lot. So, for me it was "google alerts"... why do I forget to use it? aaaaaa
Thanks for this super duper useful clip!
This was very informative, Loretta. Keep up the good work.
You have done an amazing research and shared a very true experience in this.
Ohhh~! It’s meee: AfroInJapan (Instagram)
Glad I could make it into your video, great video as always!

SO MUCH INFO !
10 000 Thanks 😊
OMG 1:37 my friend from college aka high school. Nice!!!!
The JENESYS Program is amazing!!
you’re helping a lot !! thank you sm ❤️
Well said ! Great video !!!!!!
Thanks for the tips. I'm from USA and I'm 35 so I am a bit too old for most scholarships. My current University is small and online and has no study abroad office or program so the struggle is real.
But you are not 40 ?? You can still apply 😉😉 good luck
Thanks so much for another helpful video 😊👍
What if you dont know japanese and you want to go their? And learn
Thank you for this :) I'm curious If scolorships from your home country still apply to you If your already residing In Japan temporarily? Can I apply for my home scholarships (US) If I own a Japanese residency Card?
This was extremely helpful. Thank you so much! I hope you do more videos like these 💖
You are amazing....thank you so much❤️
Yaay. Thanks for the new video! 💛💛💛
Thanks a lot
dang your dog is so cute, i was so distracted during the intro
anyways, this is another great video! i'm currently aiming for the MEXT scholarship as a research student and it's been quite stressful but hopefully things will work out. my goal is to basically live and work in japan for a veeeeeery long time. hopefully MEXT can help me get to japan and give me the time i need to further my studies as well as looking for a job and a longterm place to stay. but besides MEXT, are there any other programs for graduate students or potential opportunities to move to japan?
i'm looking forward to your next videos about jobs and how to maintain your visa status!
Thank you so much very informational video I plan on studying abroad next year
Love your videos

Thank you for the help!
I start University tomorrow so this gave me a lot to think about, I'm doing a Bachelor of Arts Majoring in Japanese so I definitely want to study abroad in Japan at some point. I should really start looking into Scholarships as I doubt I'll really be able to afford to go without one. My University has 5 partner Universities in Japan so I got some options, hopefully I'll be able to go next year.
How did it go?
@@AlexTraynor-xk7hs oh wow, the last 4 years have been kinda crazy.
Two weeks after starting university my whole city good shutdown due to the global pandemic which threw my plans off by a couple years. After a year of online classes my university at the time decided to cut all the language programs so I had to do cross institutional study for a year to get my Japanese units which wasn't great so I ended up just switching university in 2022. I'm now studying international studies, still with Japanese as my major. Last year I completed an exchange program at a university in Kanagawa for two semesters which I got a mobility grant for
I received a scholarship from the Japanese government and MEXT which is set to depart on April, but the virus thing is really getting me worried. They said my flight might be delayed...but fair enough, I don't want to go there just to transmit a disease xD

Hi Loretta! If you can answer this question or if anyone can, it would be greatly appreciated! I want to apply for MEXT this year (2023) but I don't graduate until June 16 (I get my diploma and all that). Does that mean that I have to apply for the year 2024 or can I still apply for the 2023 year and go to japan this year to start studying? Thank you!
HELLO YOUR AMAZING!
I’m a sophomores high school and have a budget of 7,000 dollars usd I want to go to japan for my junior year but I go to a very small school with no resources I would love help. I feel like i’m trying to read a book while in blind and I don’t know where to start. Do you know of any programs for high school students?
lol that moment when a video helps more than an entire college office
Is there a reason why you don't have your website anymore?
Man, isnt it stressful jus thinking about applying for MEXT scholarship? I really want to go to Japan, i want to study while having to enjoy their culture, seriously, but i have financial issues. Eventhough i still have a year to go in high-school, but still its really bugging me how much im not able to get that scholarship. Btw, i plan to take up biomed in my degree.
I wish to apply for an undergraduate in Japan but of a different course of study from what I did in polytechnic/high school.
I did not have outstanding grades, do you know if I can use just my portfolio without showing my results/grades/GPA since it is a of a totally different course? As I do need time to build up my portfolio, I am worried that I am not eligible for it due to the huge time gap.
Also, I have no idea "artist residency programs" exists.
This video is extremely informative, thank you so much!!
hi this is weird but could you make a more in depth video about paying off debt from Japan? I want to move to japan after college or hopefully get accepted by mext for graduate school and I'm sure im gonna have debt after college 😭
I plan on trying to go to Japan my first year of high school, am I to late? I am nearing the end of my 8th grade year now. I don't have the money to go without the help.
A few months late to this party, however... I am researching the MEXT scholarship, and am interested in applying for the Research Scholarship. I have found schools I would like to go to, I have been studying Japanese for a while (and will continue to learn until I pass N1), my GPA is great, and I have no worries...except when it comes to forming a research topic. I am a Business major as well, with a concentration in accounting, but will pursue my Master's in Business. My question is how do I create a thesis worthy of the scholarship? Also, I have a side question, they prefer this to be written in Japanese, if possible, but if I am unable to do so, do they look down on that? Thanks for all your help and videos!! They are helping me figure everything out!
Random question, I have always wondered this but how did you come up with KemushiChan as your channel name.?
After I watched your last MEXT video back in August, I started to go full throttle into it. Before January even began, I wrote out everything I have to do for MEXT scholarship and by when. I want to have everything ready, prepared, I probably sound like a broken record by now by how much I talk about wanting to study in Japan. My old department head probably finds me annoying with how many emails I exchange with them in regards to it. But I mean, heyyyy~ Every now and then though, I have to take a break because my anxiety levels start to get whack-o. I do something to relax me, be creative, watch RUclips videos, etc. Something that helps me get back into my mind space.
Thanks for sharing. The video was very informative. Please be safe. Wishing you the best. Hope Boomer's job hunting is going well considering the restrictions due to the virus.
Was in the middle of applying to Temple in Tokyo, but the VA pulled all GI Bill funds (for veterans) so now I guess if anything I will go to a language school to get my foot in the door and move from there.. got any tips for me?
I don’t know if I should study abroad in high school or wait for collage , does anyone know anything to help?
Hi, this has really helped me to give me a little more info. Are most scholarship programmes usually looking for people who already have degrees from universities? I never been to uni (I'm 23) Im looking for any open or creative programmes that gives work experience or work as an intern in a general creative company and gain experience through that way instead. Could you give some tips or advice please? Thanks! :)
I would recommend college that way by then you should have at least an idea what you want to do in life. In high school just enjoy being home and enjoying those little special moments near home.😊
u can get a scholarship to study college there right ?
Can you do a video on how to stay in Japan and live , I don’t wanna study because I already do marketing I just wanna know how to live in Japan and travel and how the housing and Food life is I’ve been studying the Economy and it’s really good in my opinion but over all what can a person do if they just wanna live in Japan and just do like maybe RUclips and travel around ? Please please Answer because I study Japanese I just don’t know what to do if I went and need help on the little stuff omg I’m so excited hopefully this isn’t random 🤝😁
Do you know about any scholarship or opportunities for people who are not students and who are currently living in Japan?
Once here, the Japanese government or host school are usually your best resource!
KemushiChan ロレッタ Thank you! :)
i liked this video but honey my son couldnt even get a bilingual scholarship to college. its hard out here!!!
Where should someone from the UK go for specific advice?
Hi, Im in college right now. It's my first year. I'm planning to go to Japan to study for a semester. Do you think MEXT Scholarship is eligible for me? I'm lost.
Go to studyinjapan.go.jp ane read about MEXT there! One of the Undergraduate levels is short term but usually its a full degree.
I have a question for the MEXT scholarship that I hope you could answer. I was wondering if there's an undergraduate course for teaching english. I really want to teach in a Japanese highschool. I hope you could answer me thank you. I love your videos btw.
MEXT is just a scholarship you use to pay for the school of your choice in Japan, so the answer is a google search. First you search for universities in Japan and find one that has an English teaching program. Then if that accepts MEXT then you apply with that school as one of your top choices. It might also just be easier to get a foreign teaching degree and come here as an English teacher, but good luck to you!
@@kemushichan thank you for your reply!!
Hi Kemushi
I'm a new sub here and regarding the MEXT scholarship, im looking towards doing natural sciences. The examinations i must do are bio and chem, but i don't do chem in high school. Is it still possible for me to do MEXT if ive never done this subject? Do you have an tips?
Thanks 😊
Hey, Miss Kemushi I'm a Garde-10 student but still haven't finished it yet due to my country problem cuz I'm from Myanmar. Is there any chance of getting a scholarship as a high school student because my relatives are there I know it's kinda late but I would be very glad if u answer my question 😊❤
I would ask your school's student center or similar resource. At the moment no new travellers are allowed into Japan so it might not be possible for at least another year.
@@kemushichan T0T I'm DEAD I just want to get out from my country 😢😢😢 cuz situation is getting worse day by day T0T so what about answering IELTS and JLPT N5 to N2?
@@JFel3373 Unfortunately that's just the world right now. Best bet in general would be to save and prep (the tests you mentioned, etc) as much as you can now. IELTS especially won't hurt!
@@kemushichan T0T Thank youuuu ❤❤❤❤
Do you have any tips or information for programs for a recently graduated college who really want to move to Japan in the near future?
Thanks for the help :)
If you're not looking into academics, a job might be a better option now that you have a degree!
KemushiChan ロレッタ Do you have any advice or videos on jobs in Japan. I know the JET program is the best way to get there but I have a degree in business Administration so if possible, I would like to go in that direction. I am also open to other fields as well.
@@Jp32000 wait like...two videos! In the meantime, you might want to look into Robert Walters as you have a more definite career degree.
KemushiChan ロレッタ I will look through and look at them and and I will look them up as well. Thanks for the help. 😇
What if I’m
Already graduated from college? :( I’m a dual citizen(US and Germany) any suggestions as to what to Google? I want to truly study japanese and live there like you
Did you look at MEXT? That's what I did even six years after graduating college
@@kemushichan I have looked into it a little but it’s confusing about when the deadline is if I wanted to start end of summer or fall 2022 if that’s even possible - also my undergrad was self designed (called university studies but contained courses in health, nutrition, psych, languages and cultures) so I have no idea if I had a chance. I also have many interests and don’t know how to narrow down what to focus my research on…. Ideas?
What is the language program exactly? :/
Do i need a COE or student visa already in order to apply for scholarships to study abroad?
Usually not, no.
@@kemushichan oh, interesting. I want to go for January 2023 but I don't know if I'll get the required amount of money by then. Do I need to have the right amount before applying to the scholarships?
Btw, this is the most useful video I found about this. Great job doing it and thanks for replying!!
If you want to apply for Mext Undergraduate Scholarship, should you do so during your junior year of high school since you leave the following April or do you apply in you senior year?
... All these names and programs are getting me lost please put the list in the description....
Hi, KemushiChan!
I'm writing to you because I want to ask you a recommendation...
I'm in my first semester of Biomedical Engineering at a latin american university , but now I want to apply for a Monbukagaksuho scholarship in the undergraduate level.
My mom wants me to study Medicine (we recently did some paperwork to do so), but I don't think I have the economic and emotional stability to pursue a degree like that. Therefore, I want to apply for a MEXT scholarship this year and then study a major related to Literature or something like that... The thing is that I am not sure if that is a good idea or not. I mean, I watched this video and you say you apply after you graduated from an US university. Is it better if I graduate and then go to Japan? Or it would be good if I study a undergraduate career in Japan? Do you know some stories of success in the last case? From your perspective, what option would be better?
I hope you see this and I'm sorry for the gramatical errors.
Thanks for reading anyway!
same i want to study medicne.there
Every one keeps saying after university I want to go to college in japan .that possible????like I want to to start college sopmore year in japan I’m a high school leaver
Yes, most people go for a graduate degree here or just do a semester or year in Japan
@@kemushichan so I can’t study in a college after high school in japan or just most people don’t but it’s very possible I want to be sure so I can know if I should start looking for other countries
@@Sharon.M.B in many cases, you can but the problem is the entrance exam system is very different. You often need to be in Japan at your school campus taking the exams, doing interviews, checking results on campus (printed on paper and posted on a bulletin board), filling out forms for many months before the actual exam, so you need a visa just to be here for about a year in advance. That's why most people apply for the MEXT scholarship, it's one of the few that knows this and gives you a "kenkyuusei" status via student visa to get ready and take the exam while you're in Japan. Otherwise, if you're not Japanese, you can't stay long enough with an address etc to actually take the exam.
Then you have to actually PASS the exam, in Japanese.
Any other scholarships to study a masters in Japan for French people? I only found the MEXT scholarship
i'm planning to apply for an undergraduate mext scholarship next year but i'm scared that my grades from my past years would pull me down...because when i was grade 7 to grade 10 i didn't study that hard...it's only when i reached grade 11 that i got As 😔😔
Literally the only way to know is to try :) . GO GETTEM
Hello ma'am I am from Nepal and want to study computer engineering basically graphical designing in Japan.i am financially unable to make my dream true. I just need your help to come there , would you please suggest me some scholarship currently available in japan .

ok, so I am starting at a University in the fall that has a study abroad program, so ... you know. Fingers crossed and all that. But I also have a wife and one year old daughter that the program will not pay for, so I'm looking around for scholarships. Have you come across anything that doesn't have an age limit (I am...let's just say over 30). I'm going to follow your advice but was wondering if you came across something like that.
hi. i want to ask if you have an idea about this,
if you have bachelor's degree in your country, is it okay if you will apply for another bachelor's degree through MEXT? or will it lessen the chances of passing the scholarship? thank you.
