I sent in my application like literally a week and a half after it was announced it was open lolol. I already had everything ready since I worked on it between August 2019 to March 2020. The only thing I had to wait on was the medical form from my doctor, and because of the pandemic I reissued my diplomas so I wouldn't send my own out (plus I couldn't get copies and have them notarized due to the pandemic so I just needed to repurchase my diplomas) and I got them in May. The pandemic worked into my favor because my field is vastly understudied but because of the pandemic it gave it importance, but I literally found a school in japan with an advisor in the same field it was literally what I studied as an undergrad but as a graduate program, and nowhere else did I find this. I found similar, but this was literally exact to the finest degree. It was mind blowing. It felt like such a sign! The only thing I'm nervous about is that I was pretty humble with rating my language knowledge. I know English and Polish fluently, but with Polish I wouldn't say I'm at the highest level even though it's my first language. English is my dominant language. Also with Japanese I'm at the N3 level, but i was also pretty humble with that because I tend to struggle in reading writing and speaking (which I'm working on on the side), but listening for me, for anything really -- I have a really good ear. Compared to my sister who was born in Poland, I know and speak more Polish than her and better. When I had language classes (I've also taken Korean and Mandarin) I've always been told I have a really good ear. So I didn't want to overestimate myself so I was really humble with the rating.

This comment is anything but humble.

I am Polish .In 1920 and 1922, Japan rescued 765 Polish orphans in Siberia. Poland asked Japan to rescue a Polish orphan in Siberia. Japan promised to rescue immediately. The smallest orphaned child was 2 years old. The child was crying near the dead mother. The Japanese rescued the orphan immediately. The child told the dead mother "Goodbye Mom". Japan rescued a total of 765 Polish orphans.Japan sent orphans to Japan for treatment.Orphans ate delicious and warm meals every day. All Polish orphans have recovered. Almost all Japanese donated money to save orphans. On the day of return, all 765 Polish orphans returned to Poland safely. In 2018, an elementary school commemorating this was completed in Warsaw. Thank you Japan. God bless Japan.

Could you do a video for us mere mortals on how we can improve fluency? I ask because right now, still so early in my journey, I see so many people on various forums - from italki to wanikani to stackexchange - bemoaning that even after years they struggle to truly be fluent! One extreme case was someone who has been living in Japan for 20 years and said they still struggle to hold a normal conversation! Another wrote about how he flunked a job interview on the phone despite having JLPT1! That's so discouraging for a beginner like me. Yet here you are sounding like - at least for a gaijin like me - like you are one step away from having been born and gone to school there! I do have a conversation partner on italki - but it's all so very very yukkuri. I also do not rule out that some people simply have a talent - and I think you have it. For others it's a much harder slog.

Is their an age limit? For this program?

[@kemushichan]

It depends on which level you pick (undergraduate/specialized training college are for generally undergraduate aged, and Research Student is for graduate/post-graduate work). I joined the Research Student level(graduate program) at age 27.

Hello new my dear friend ✨🌹🙋🏻‍♀️

When you are speaking in English, I think adding Japanese subtitles will increase the number of subscribers to your channel. 英語で話しているときは、日本語の字幕をつけたほうが、チャンネル登録者数が増えると思います。日本ではまだまだ英語が理解できない日本人が圧倒的に多いんです。文法が理解できていても話すスピードや発音が難しくて聞き取れません💦 なぜなら日本の英語教育は試験のための文法に力を入れているからリスニングやトーキングに力を入れていません。外国人と接するきかいの少ない地方の田舎の方ならなおさら難しいです💦

me: oh my! i'll be taking this scholarship! ... 18-24yo never mind. i'm 27 already. 😭😭😭

[@kemushichan]

I did the research student level of MEXT at age 27. Good luck!

[@yuugaouzuki18]

such an inspiration! thank you! i've found your channel yesterday, and i've been watching a lot of very informative vids. say, may i ask if you know about this? my undergrad degree in our country is pharmacy. but i'd be glad to study other fields, if there is any scholarship appropriate for me. cuz i don't think medical disciplines are easy esp when everything is in Japanese. but i've been self-studying the language for some time now. thank you.

@@yuugaouzuki18 I don't know the word because it's not my field, but I know a lot of MEXT research students had a lot of success getting into medical related programs at Tokyo U. Topics like social health/diseases (for example, coronavirus this year, health care in general, etc.). If you want to stand out you'll need to boost your Japanese though. Good luck!

@@kemushichan thank you so much. i'm glad i found these scholarships and the vids that'll help a lot. 😊😊😊

[@tenkin5105]

@@kemushichan if I not mistaken the age limit for research student is 35 right? I am currently a new major in music and it may take a while before I apply for the program I want in Japan so as long as I am under 35 I’m good right?

Do you think I can do my L.L.M in Japan with the MEXT scholarship? It's only a one year program.

[@kemushichan]

I'm not sure personally but you can check easily by searching for LLM programs and seeing of they are at a MEXT school. That being said, I would make sure that getting an LLM from Japan is still desirable for future employers. I know your school /prestige can be very important in the law world. Best of luck to you!
