Embassy Recommendation

This is the most common category among MEXT scholarships.
Japanese embassies or consulates in countries that have diplomatic relation with Japan call for applications around April/May every year. (Please contact them directly for a concrete schedule for application, as it differs according to the embassy/consulate. Applicants from China in particular should be aware that the Japanese embassy and consulates in China use different procedures from embassies/consulates in other countries.)

First, the Japanese embassy/consulate concerned conducts a primary screening, which takes place around early May to late July. Applicants who pass the primary screening are required to obtain a "Letter of Provisional Acceptance" from the university in Japan they wish to attend by early October, starting from around June.
