Hello everyone!
If you found this article, I am sure that you are searching for information about scholarship to study in Japan right? I know Japan is one of the best country to pursue your higher education in many fields. Studying in Japan is not only how you understand many subjects in university, but also understanding culture and social life and of course exploring beautiful places. In this article, I want to share some scholarship from universities in Japan that I recommend to apply! And here they are :
1. Hiroshima University
If you are interested to pursue your education such as bachelors, masters or PhD in Japan, first university that I recommend is Hiroshima University. This university has been collaborated with Japanese Government to help students from many countries to support their financial to study in this university. The Japanese Government (Monbukagakusho: MEXT) scholarship program for foreign students, established in 1954, comprises 8 different categories. These include research students, (144,000・145000/month), teacher training students (143,000/month), undergraduate students (117,000/month), Japanese studies students (117,000/month), and others. Exchange students who get scholarships from these programs are called “Japanese Government Scholarship Students”. There are three ways to apply for the scholarships: embassy recommendation, university recommendation, or domestic selection.

2. Nagasaki University
The next university that I do really recommend is Nagasaki university. It’s the same with Hiroshima university, this Nagasaki University has been also collaborated with Japanese Government in MEXT program. International student on MEXT scholarship are guaranteed to be provided with sufficient financial resources, allowing students to focus on their academic studies without having to worry about financial problems. Therefore, it is neither recommended nor consistent with the spirit of the scholarship to obtain a conditional work permit with the intention of saving money through part-time work. Thus Nagasaki University does not allow MEXT scholars to have a part-time work in principle. However activities, which fall under any of the following, will be considered, and only when the director of Liaison Center for International Education allows, students can apply for a conditional work permit. (Use form 1 to seek permission from the dean to apply the conditional work permit.)
