![]() ![]() Date of Birth and age as of April 1 įor the month, day, and year, use all numbers- do not write out month names.Īge: About one quarter of applicants get this wrong! It is not your current age, but the age that you will be on April 1 of the year you start the scholarship. If you have multiple nationalities and one if Japanese, you are not eligible for the scholarship unless you revoke your Japanese nationality. If you have multiple nationalities, write the one for the country you live in/ the passport you will use when you enter Japan 2-2. NationalityĮnter the name of the country not the adjective. Straightforward- just don’t forget to check one! Marital Status Double-check your passport, especially if you’re from Russia or a former Soviet Republic – sometimes you have middle names that appear only in Cyrillic, so leave those out in the English section. Vietnamese applicants: Write your names in the order they appear on your passport, even though that means your “given” and “middle” names will be in the opposite spaces.If you can’t type your name in your native language in the form, try to insert it using other software or handwrite it after printing.If English is your native language/script, be sure to fill in this blank in English (block capitals!), even if the next line is identical!.If your passport does not specify surname/family name and given names, then use your own discretion to separate them.You cannot leave out any names, such as patronymics, “bin” or “binti”, middle names, etc. This must match your passport (if written there) or birth certificate. ![]() ![]() Having a single-sided version may just save you from having to resend the application by express post in case corrections become necessary!Īpplication for Japanese Government (Monbukagakusho: MEXT) Scholarship – 1. I highly recommend submitting two copies of the form: One printed double-sided, as per the instructions, and one printed single-sided.But if that’s not possible, cross out the error with two horizontal lines through the text and write the correction above. If you have to make corrections, it’s best to start over and recreate a clean form.This goes for any of your supporting documents, too! If your country uses a different year system (Buddhist, Muslim, Coptic, Japanese, etc), make sure you translate those into AD. All years must be in AD (also called CE).Do not use any other type or write out numbers in text. Other colors are not considered official in Japan. If you must handwrite, use block (all capital) letters and black ball-point pen.If you handwrite any portion of a page, you will have to make all corrections by post. This isn’t only about clarity, but if you type every entry on a page, you can sometimes make corrections by email. Type the application if at all possible.Sample MEXT Scholarship Application Form – (click for pdf download) ![]()
