I'm not old enough to get a proper scholarship yet (Maybe I might get one for 6th Form/Grades 11/12). But me and a friend are thinking about getting Scholarships for Japan in the next 4 years. Does anyone know where we could get one in England? :)
I guess I speak good enough Japanese to get by, and I am doing quiet well (but not in Physics, that kills my brain). Any help would be good, thanks. :)

Great Aussie accent :)

I have a feeling that discussing this falls under acting like a weeaboo, but is it alright to mention a passion for video games? That's the field that I'd like to be working in once I'm done with college, though more of either an interpretive (language interpretation) or marketing perspective of the field.

Thank you so much for giving the best advices out there! I will be applying for a Japanese Government Scholarship any time soon when the application will open and this will truly help. Thank you so much again. I was also shocked to see that you also do Kendo because I do too.. and i can mention that in my interview…

I just ended my high school not long a ago and have thought about studying abroad in Japan. There are not much programs that I can join to seize a scholarship and get me to Japan. Malaysia is certainly different from other countries. My chances to go there are slim so I might as well stay in the local University then when I get my earning. I will surely try to apply a citizenship there.

I'm waiting for the new year's scholarships to come out as I kept procrastinating until the ones for this year closed (kept telling myself I didn't have a chance). So this article was really helpful.
But one question. I went to Japan for just 14 days with my class in April, will that lessen my chance of recieving a scholarship?

Hey Koichi, thanks for the very helpful video and blog entry!

I was wondering, is it possible to gain a scholorship if you are out of education? I have a degree, I work in the video games industry as a designer (woo!) and I also play Taiko drums… I'd love to eventually gain work in Japan in the games industry and I have a few years experience already, but I suspect it'd be much easier if i'm already there before I look for a job? So would gaining a scholorship be a good direction to take? What options would I have, do you think? Maybe basing it around the Taiko or games industry experience?

It depends on how long you want to stay in Japan. Youth For Understanding (YFU) has like a ton of scholarships, specifically for Japan. Most of these scholarships or for the summer (a 6-week program), but they have some year-round scholarship programs as well. Try googling Japan high school study abraod, and I'm sure you'll find a TON of different programs.
