Some notes on MEXT Scholarship 2008 by the Japanese Embassy/Consulate General recommendation †
5. SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION †
- (5) Each candidate who has been selected by this primary screening is required to directly contact the Japanese university of his/her choice and make the utmost effort to obtain admission as a graduate student or research student, or a letter of acceptance as a research student (hereinafter referred to as “ Admission”) by the end of August. (Universities in Japan do not respond to a request for Admission after the end of August.)
- (6) Each candidate must submit to the university of his/her choice a set of the same documents as those submitted to the Japanese Embassy/Consulate General (application, academic transcript of the university attended, research program, all with a confirmation seal of the Japanese Embassy/Consulate General affixed, and a passing certificate of the primary selection issued by the Japanese Embassy/Consulate General). Additional documents may have to be submitted upon request of the university.
- (7) MEXT will conduct a final selection based on the results of the primary screening, and select as Japanese government scholarship grantees those applicants who have been accepted by a Japanese university. Applicants who have passed the primary screening are not guaranteed to be selected as Japanese government scholarship grantees.
- Note 2: An applicant who desires to conduct fieldwork abroad at the time of application will not be selected, either.
- Note 3: Even if an applicant is selected by the primary screening, recommended as a candidate grantee to MEXT, and notified by MEXT as provisionally selected(his/her recipient university yet to be decided), he/she will automatically fail to be selected if he/she does not receive a notice of his/her recipient university being decided by the end of July 2008.
If an applicant is notified of his/her selection as a substitute grantee, he may be designated as a definitive grantee as early as by the end of July in the event that any one of the selected grantees is known to be failing because of his/her declination or any other event.
- <comment>:
- The highlighted line above says basically the candidate is expected to have admission from a Japanese university.
6. PLACEMENT AND RESEARCH GUIDANCE AT UNIVERSITY †
- (1) Placement of a grantee at a university will be decided following a relevant request made to the university from which, upon passage of the primary screening, a candidate grantee obtained admission as a regular student or Research Student at the university’s graduate school(a candidate who has received admission to a regular graduate course will be placed directly in such course without passing through a Research Student period).
If a candidate grantee has received a letter of acceptance from a university, first of all MEXT will request the university to receive the grantee, and place him/her there upon its approval.
If a candidate wants to enter a public or private university, the grantee’s preference may not be met due to budgetary reasons concerning school fees, etc. In this case, the candidate is not allowed to raise an objection to the decision.
If a candidate has obtained neither admission nor a letter of acceptance, MEXT will contact related universities and decide at which university to place the candidate in consideration of his/her preference. In this case, the candidate is not allowed to raise an objection to the decision.
In a case where a candidate fails to obtain admission or a letter of acceptance and MEXT discusses the case with related universities, the candidate may not be accepted and therefore not definitively selected by MEXT, if his/her research program is vague or unclear, the content of his/her research is not substantial, or his/her desired major field presents difficulty from the perspective of research guidance.
- <comment>:
- The first highlighted line also says that MEXT will request the university from which the candidate obtain admission, to receive the grantee.
