Monbusho Scholarship

[shazre3000]

Let's discuss about the Monbusho(Japanese Government) Scholarship.

So those who have applied for the scholarship and got it have to sit for their exams:

[Subjects for Examination (in English)]

Social Sciences and Humanities: English, Mathematics A, World History (compulsory) and Japanese Language (for reference).

Natural Science A: English, Mathematics B, Chemistry, Physics (compulsory) and Japanese Language (for reference).

Natural Science B: English, Mathematics B, Chemistry, Biology (compulsory) and Japanese Language (for reference).[/b]



So if anyone who have also applied for the scholarship and have any info about the past exam's or the exam syllabus or anything to do with the scholarship, do share with the other recomers.

Thanx A lot :D :D

I applied Nat Sci B. The exams are of Pre-U level like A level and STPM. The math is damn tough and English wasnt easy also. Good luck! I failed to obtain the scholarship.

I applied for humanities although I've been doing Pure Science all this while. Just felt like I need a breath of fresh air.

I know nothing about World History so just simply simply only lah.

i thought that the scholarship requires one to have pre-U experience/qualification and not for applicants with SPM 2005 ? .

nolah it's stated that 11 yrs of study, which means SPM qualification also can.

but it's true that the exams are STPM/ A lvl standard so you gotta be real good.

They do accept SPM students as well. It is because 2 years ago, I have sat for this examination with my SPM result. To be frankly the english is quite easy (Mostly are objective questions) but the Math, Chem, and physics questions are quite tough (STPM level), I remember that i just managed to answer a few questions for math, chem and leave most of it BLANK!! Furthermore i am lazy to revise all the SPM syllabus back as i did not know the exam cover until which topics..

If i am not mistaken, they ask something about partial pressure for physics during my year which was A-level standard and i knew nothing about it, not only after i studied it during form 6.

The girl who sat beside of me during that exam straight away cabut after taking Math paper, and i was thinking to cabut as well but my parent insist me to finish it... :lol:

ya, they do accept spm leaver. i know some1 who got d scholarship but he completed his form 6 before set off to japan.

But it's good that you gained experience eventhough you weren't selected. Not all people could obtain such an opportunity.
All the best in the days ahead!

err...i think it's been changed to monbukagakusho...last time i checked...or are they just trying to say that this scholarship is offered by the monbusho(education department) and kagakusho(science department)...well, wadeva it is, i've thot of applying for it also but my japanese teacher told me that they usualli accept ppl who haf had 12 years of education, which means i stand a bigger chance if i study form6...
i might do form 6 if all my hopes of getting a scholarship go down the drain...then i'll try to continue going for japanese classes at the Sarawak-Japan Friendship Club while doing my form 6...
erm, anyone else here taking japanese...or seniors who have studied japanese???i need advice on getting a decent japanese dictionary...please...

[kaiba]

I applied 4 da scholarship 2. well, 2 b frank, i reali reali wanna go 2 japan...if there is anyone of u who knows about this particular scholarship plz send a post about it. thx in advance!!

[colis]

Seeing all these posts i decided to apply for this scholarship again next year, when i'm doing Upper Six. Seems quite tough. Unless i'm so lucky enough to get the JPA scholarship to Japan, i'll wait for it. ^ ^

Only 3 people! Maybe undergraduate scholarship is really tough to win.

Anybody know about postgraduate rate of selection? I just went to the interview for postgraduate scholarship in the embassy.

When i was in the embassy for the airticket giving ceremony 2 years ago,there were around 40 postgraduate students if i am not mistaken.So,maybe it is easier to get the scholarship for this level.
Good luck to you.
