Honestly i thought this wil be boring video but it actually helped me a lot so thank you
Man me too !! It was an amazing video, great advices and very interesting.
One of the most helpful content i have ever watched on CZcams.👏👏
Katya, great job doing this interview, asking the right question and most importantly letting Travis speak!
This was so enjoyable, and the personalities of the three of you are amazing. I really loved watching this!
Thank you so much for this! It’s really helpful and gives good insight❤️
thank you very much travis for all the advises...god bless all you guys
OMG!! Thank you!! Thank you for the explanation on "research student" lost in translation.
Such a useful and motivating interview! Thank you 🙏
The most effective video I have ever watched.
God bless you three 🙏 ❤
Thank you so much, this was very helpful!
Thanks for this...I had sign up from his email last January 2020 I guess..Very helpful!
Travis is my savious! because of his well explained guide that I could make a research proposal. I just can't thank him enough
How do u make research purposal im not tht smart to write one like u please can u teach me how to im Pay u money 💴 if u want
This video is very helpful, I considered applying to this scholarship but I didn't have enough elements and motivation to start with that. Now, I feel confident to c apply.
This video is pure gold
thank you so much 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️ it is really useful !!
Great job ! I like your videos keep going 💪🏻
Thank you so much for this!
Thanks for this helpful video💓💓
Thank you for sharing this information.
this is GOLD thank youu
Such an educative speech ..really informative
Thank you for this video and inspiration!
I'm back for this video again because I've passed the first screening and now I've got the letter of acceptance from Japanese university. Thank you very much!!! Your video is really helpful to me when I'm preparing my interview!
please can I ask about if biology and chemistry were difficult. or about the interview and when did you take the exams
@@koski1202 Dear Ko ski, I'm sorry that I know very little about your research field, but I know many friends who are similar to your situation who have passed the 1st screening and got their letters of acceptance. In case you didn't know, I'm an applicant from China, and we only have doctoral program for this scholarship, so my answer may not be able to help you since the details of screening may be different depending on the program and embassies. You ask me about the interview and exams. We applicants in China took the interview on May 10, and there was no exam due to the pandemic. As for the "applying letter of acceptance" period which you may also be interested in, there may be online interviews which really depends on the departments and graduate schools, and only a few of applicants were required by their prospective professors to take an online interview during the letter of acceptance application phase. I'll be glad to answer your further questions if you have any :) Good luck!
@Tala Qbelat I'm not "required" to provide published papers, but I think it would be a vital aspect that MEXT officials take in consideration.
@Tala Qbelat You are welcome. Wish you all the best.
@@quentinw2464 hey man, first of all, congrats on your acceptance! I want to know what's the interview questions look like if you can share. I'm planning to apply this year
This is really helpful for me!!, I have my first interview with the Japanese embassy of my country on 3 weeks!
What happened?
I have watched this video about three times and applied this year again, thanks to the tips and advice I have been selected and will be applying for acceptance letters soon!!
Felt appropriate to come back and leave a comment as my confidence was booster every time i watched this video!!
Thank you so much
(P.s I am an arts major )
please can I ask,,was bio and chemistry difficult?? when did you take the exams? and what about interview
Congratulations 🎉
I respect Travis! For everything he does in his blog, it was genuinely useful and he shares it for free, I hope after a year I can pay from my stipend to support his efforts in doing great job! Also, Khamida and Katya where are you from guys?
Katya is from Russia and Khamida is from Kyrgyzstan
@@GabrilGrom Khamida is talking without an accent, such english, i thought she is from Indonesia
It was really beneficial but please can you talk more about undergraduate students ♥️
Yeah, that would be great! And more about interview
Yeah not a lot of people are talking about it and that’s the only one I want to apply for
Thank you so much for the video...
That was really good video. But can you also talk more about what you need to do after getting the scholarship( eg, what to bring, how much money you need at the beginning, what other papers you need to bring with you, etc)
To enter Japan you are required to have around 36k to 38k USD for up to two years stay by the time that you apply and get your visa.
@@ethelindamorte921 do you need to show this much balance even if you are coming through scholarship?
This is Soo usefullll
Very informative video..🤝🤝
thx a lot ..I am from the 2024th Hope to be accepted in MEXT ..
Me too :)
very helpful
thanks
I just got a call from the Japanese embassy in my country and they told me that I’ve passed the first screening!!! I wanted to ask what are my chances on getting this scholarship if I’ve been recommended by the embassy. (I’m applying for the undergraduate program)
Hey first congrats , ummm can u pleeaaaase give me like what does the math , bio and chem tests cover like umm the program as a whole
Congratulations!! All the rest will depend on the following factors: 1) how well will you do on exams 2) what is the competition 3) how “useful” is your research for Japan 4) how well you will perform on interview. So, as long as you score high on exams, prove that your research topic is relevant to Japan and your country, plus show your interest in Japanese culture on the interview, you should be OK!!
@@theelitegamer4531 heyy thank you! I took only English Japanese and math as I didn’t choose to apply for natural sciences! Maths was pretty hard and they told me that I had only 2 correct answers lol but I got high scores both from English and Japanese so I hope that my math score won’t be a problem lol
@@TokyoStateofMind I have actually passed the interview too and I was recommended by my country’s embassy!! I’m applying as an undergraduate student so I don’t have a research plan. I just wanted to know what are the chances of passing the second screening after passing the first one.
@@Cupcakemara as long as your information on the application is not falsified and you there is a supervisor willing to take you, your chances are 99.9%!

Hi, please I am having challenges with my research proposal. The field of study and research plan sheet is supposed to be created in two pages, but unfortunately my proposal will not hold much relevance if I over summarize it to meet the two pages. Can I add extra pages to it?
I just saw this video now and I must confess it's very educative, I have a question, I haven't gotten any supervisor yet, so is it safe for me to submit my placement application form void of supervisors
Do you have any examples of field Study and RESEARCH plans for master's dgree?
Hello, i really loved the video! It was pretty much informative but I guess mostly concentrated on people who had already finished bachelor degree, which is not bad honestly, but because of that I got some questions. So if you apply for the undergraduate MEXT scholarship program, do you have to explain your study plan or maybe something like that? Maybe you perhaps will have to explain why you are applying to specifically Japan or relative questions? How different are the approaches to undergraduate program and others? And also if you haven’t been to Japan yet but still want to study there, would it be a must to visit it before applying to MEXT?
Thank you if you will see this comment 🙏
Hi, so I am really stuck at the moment, I want to study either psychology or education and I can’t find which exams I have to take. I hope I on,u have to take the English and Japanese exams because I didn’t take maths, physics, or chemistry to nat5 level, and I took human biology to higher but the exam seems to be really plant based which I can’t do, I didn’t think I would have to take the other exams if they are not needed for my course, does anyone know If I need to do all exams?
I really nervous for my interview day. I need some tips from you.🙏💕
I would like to ask you about one of my doubt.
Recently I got Letter of acceptance from one of national University for PhD program in April 2021.
I applied as a privately financed students.
Can I apply for Embassy process for MEXT since I got my letter of acceptance and got accepted.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Thanking you
Jai
Can you just guide on how to contact professor for a particular program?
I want to study Computer Science but in mext it is not available what should I do.
Please reply.
How to prefer university and professor...am confused about that in preliminary aplication
Hello, I am thinking of applying for the MEXT scholarship next spring and the barrier language scares me a bit: I have a diploma from my university in Japanese language (for having taken 6 courses over 3 years), but I am by no means fluent in this language although it know the basics.
The program that I am applying for will be given in Japanese. Does that mean that it is futile for me to apply to said program, or can I still apply and do my thesis in English? I have heard from MEXT alumni that the language barrier is not that big of a deal because most graduate schools allow you to do your research in English given that it is the language that dominates the academic world. Could you please confirm this?
I need some tips to increase my chances to get the scholarship. I would be applying for the same in 2023 for MSc in chemistry.so can you provide some demo classes for all the screening process and the interview? it'll be very much helpful:) As I am very nervous during these situations and I don't wanna lose any chance to study in my dream university. 🥺
Thank you for sharing this helpful information. Do I send copies or the original documents please?
For research students, where did you submit your application and documents? And, how many sets did you submit?
(From India)
Im turning 14 next year and I told my parents that i want to do the mext scholarship i graduate school in 3 years so im going to do the scholarship when I'm 17 and travelling by myself and all ,is there ay tips you can give me so that when im going to apply for it i can know in advance
Can I get more information on undergraduate program...thank you a lot for this video
I couldn't find the links that they said we share below
????
How many research plans is one required to write at the first point of application?
Do you have a syllabus, or something similar for Math A? I woudl Highly apprecciate it!!!
Thankyou
Hello guys
MEXT is again accepting applications for 2022. I want to apply for PhD but the problem is that I am of August 86 rather than April 87. Can I apply or hope for the age relaxation in this situation. This is really important for me. If you guys can help I'll be really thankful
Please I have a question when talking about my past and present field should I write about what I have been studying my whole life ? Since school til my undergraduate studies ?
Not necessarily- just write everything that is applicable to the subject you will research in Japan
May I know, are the examination in Japan University in japanse or English? By the way I want to study in bachelor degree in dentistry.
can anyone apply in multiple university for mext scholarship through university recommended?
Hi everyone ! Quite informative video.I want to ask few questions .i hope so i get the answers. Thank you
1.The RESEARCH PLAN is a document which you have to send embassy for mext scholarship.Right? If yes, then then how can we know what topic is used for research plan which is not controversional in JAPAN (asking for MASTERS degree in medical).it would be great if you give some examples .
2.In our country we have to write the RESEARCH PAPER and then send to embassy OR we just choose the topic and tell the information which we collect in our country during the research
3.For RESEARCH ARTICLE which language should we use because i dont know japenese that much that i write the research paper besides it requires TIME and EXPOSURE too so what should we do ?
4.WHATS the meaning of RESEARCH PLAN for graduate students who want to apply for masters degree ?
Thank you ! Waiting for your REPLY its HIGLY APPRECIATED :)

Hi, thank you for your informative podcast. Can I know your chances to get the scholarship if you already passed the university under the UR track?
Hey! Unfortunately, we don't know what are the chances, as a University recommeded procedure takes more time and quite unpredictable and vary year by year. Still, we wish you goodluck!
Hello brother plz provide me all pdf of questions of MEXT Scholarship undergraduate level if you have it. I am unable to download it form the website as they have removed it from there... Plzz brother i will be thankful to you..
After getting nomination from the Japanese university to mext.
How many chances of getting this scholarship?
Very informative session.
I had a question to ask. I am currently in mid third year undergraduate. Is it possible that i can apply during my 4th year since i will be getting my undergraduate certificate late and if i wait for my certificate it will be late and i will have to wait for next year. Do they accept those who are waiting for their final graduate certificate?
Thank you.
Hope you will acknowledge.
Hello! It depends on which month you graduate, if it's June, then I think it's fine, you can ask your school to give you a paper with your current grades and expected grades and that you're about to gradute soon, I think embassy would accept that, but I would recommend you to check info at japanese embassy of your country!
Please can i apply for a doctorate program in geology for the Mext.scholarship?
Hello guys, I just really need help preparing for the Mathematics A test. Could you help me find resources with problems solved step by step ? also if anyone has a syllabus or something that gets as close to it as possible that'd be GREAT. Thanks in Advance and thank you for the video !!
Hi everyone, can i apply for this scholarship without TOEFL or IELTS ?
There is any scholarship slot for biotechnology student for phd
i am watching this video too late but can you do for like undergraduate mext schlorship
I really want to do my master's in Japan next April. Although my grades were okay throughout my bachelor's, I haven't excelled in the past years due to motivation loss during the Covid years. I also don't come from the most prestigious university in my country so to speak. How big would my odds be to get the MEXT scholarship (or any scholarship) if I would have a good research proposal and interview in my situation?
It really depends on
1. The country you are coming from
2. The competition
3. What is the diplomatic relationship between your country and Japan
4. How relevant is your research to Japan
5. How good are your English and Japanese if the embassy in your country judges your eligibility by the scores of these tests.
I would say that the best thing you can do is find someone who already won the scholarship from your country and ask them for the country-specific information. What matters is not your grades but how well-informed about your situation you are. Good luck with everything!
Mam I have applied for undergraduate this year can you please tell me the syllabus i should study
May you please help me ll want to apply for mext 2022 from Zim
i have some questions and quarries to ask who should i contact
I had a query for the language....will the interviewers prefer native language or English?
Do you have to get a professor for undergraduate?
I have a question. The scholarship stipend for undergraduate program is enough to live well while study in japan?
Yes
Does anyone knows where I can find study materials or guides?
go to www.studyinjapan.go.jp/en/. good luck!
Its hard I can’t write emails im super introverted I don’t have any friends to talk to 0 and English is not my native language it’s very hard to talk to others without ignoring you
Idk how I finished college and got the degree I don’t think I stand any chance because I don’t know how to talk to be honest
Great interview . But what about undergraduates student ?
coming soon! stay tuned to see it next week!
FOR ANYONE WHO KNOWS:
If I don't pass the exams for the MEXT undergraduate exam does that mean I don't qualify for the scholarship or does it just lower my chances
Hmm
What about MBA in English medium mam.
Do I need a Japan Student Visa before applying for MEXT?
No, you will get your visa once you are selected! Good luck with everything!!
Hi hope you are doing good
I have a question
I did my graduation in fashion design can I apply for MEXT scholarship in 2023 related to my field ?
There should be some programs related to it, some of our acquaintances studied it through MEXT technical college program so you should definitely have a look on the web!
@@TokyoStateofMind ok ✅ thanks for replying
I really want to know this - can we study in japan with mext in English based programs ? I want to apply for mext but I have zero Japanese experience that's why I want to do English based programs which is taught entirely in English . so can I?
Yes, you can study in Japan in English. There are plenty of English programs! 😄but it’s going to be challenging to live here with zero Japanese as most Japanese people don’t speak English.
@@TokyoStateofMind thank you for info also is ielts sore neessery for the appliation?
Are there any business programs I can apply for in this Mext scholarship
Yes it is.
uhgh ... really was hoping for more info on under grad applications, you focused almost exclusively on grad school applicants
Hello, i hope you fine. please Can you tell me more about the english mext examination system ? Do we have to do all test in one hour or just to choose one ? Thank you so much 😃
I have applied for the MEXT PhD scholarship program and recently received a mail which says " You've got recommended as a potential student for the Japanese government scholarship program 2021" and the MEXT will make the final decision on the offering of the scholarship through a separate screening process .
Could you please tell me what this separate screening of MEXT would comprise of , it'll be of great help .
Hi, Kumar! Congrats on getting the letter! As we stated in our videos, the selection heavily depends on the university and the guidelines might have changed because of corona. Ee have never heard about a separate selection before so probably it’s a new rule. We would encourage you to contact MEXT or other applicants for 2021 to learn about it! Good luck!
Sending prayers to you good luck 😊
@@TokyoStateofMind I was hoping you would touch more on the GPA issue...Sometimes we get discouraged to apply for this scholarship because some vlogs always say if you dont have a minimum of 2.30 on the MEXT scale then forget about being selected for the scholarship. For instance, I want to apply for a PhD, I have 3 publications, plenty of research experience, but my MSc gpa is 2.25 on MEXT scale, so would you advice me to apply or I should just accept that I dont qualify??
Do LGBTQ-related topics count as politically sensitive? Because I've been planning research on LGBT representation in Japanese literature of a specific author but now I'm second guessing :/
hi. i want to ask,
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.
Unfortunately we don’t have experience with MEXT undergrad programs, so please refer to transenz blog with this question! But to my knowledge, you are expected to be under age of 22 to do so. Anyways, don’t hesitate to ask Travis and good luck with the program!
@@TokyoStateofMind thank you for this. unfortunately, i have gone past 22y. nevertheless, i'll try to ask Sir Travis.
@@yuugaouzuki18 , just don’t give up, we will post more episodes about other scholarships and opportunities, so that even if not for MEXT, you will be able to make it here!
@@yuugaouzuki18 i think it is pushed up to 24 now
Rip didn't send the XRAY rip
send all regards to my grave
The fact that the russian girl is a winner gave me some confidence on getting the scholarship lol
