How I Got the MEXT (Japanese Government) Scholarship 2024 on My First TryーWaseda University
This is too surreal to be true, but I finally got the MEXT (Japanese Government) scholarship 2024 on my first try to enroll in Waseda University! Moreover, I did little to no preparation since my application was too sudden. So, how could this be happening? My friends asked me a lot about this, so I decided to write about my journey when applying for the scholarship!
Things I need to clarify first
First of all, I am an applicant from Indonesia, applying through the Embassy of Japan in Indonesia as a research student (Master’s degree/Ph.D.). The screening process could be different depending on the country where you are from or the program you are applying to (there are many categories such as Research Student, Gakubu/Undergraduate, Senshu, Kosen, etc.). But the main idea is still pretty similar. Please refer to the MEXT (Monbukagakusho) website or your country’s Embassy of Japan.
