Explanation
Given the recent volume of questions, I am afraid that I no longer have the time to answer each emailed question one-by-one and get you the response you want in a timely manner.
Instead, I will group similar questions and answer them in the subject-by-subject FAQ articles linked above.
Live Q&A?
Once TranSenz reaches $50 in monthly support on Patreon, I will start a monthly live video Q&A. If you are interested in supporting this effort, or simply getting faster responses to your questions and access to articles ahead of everyone else, you can become a patron of TranSenz for as little as $2 per month!
Get All the Answers, Fast
When you sign up for my MEXT Scholarship Mailing List, I will send you my sample MEXT application forms as well as a email course introducing you to the essentials of the MEXT scholarship application, step-by-step.
Tips to Get Your Questions Answered Faster
There are some ways you can get your question featured faster:
- Be clear. Let me know what type of application process (Embassy/University/Domestic Selection) you’re asking about, what level (Undergraduate/Graduate), what year, and any other relevant details. If I have to guess what you mean – or write back to you to ask you to clarify your question, it’s going to take more time.
- Be detailed. If your question is “Please help me with the MEXT Scholarship application” or “I don’t know where to start,” then read through the articles that exist on this site first. Specific questions that are easier to understand and research will get answered first. If your question seems like it’s asking for a half-hour sit-down chat, then it’s probably not possible for me to answer in the FAQ.
- Be original. If there is an FAQ for your question already, please watch/read what I have posted in there already. If you ask a question that’s just been answered, it will take me longer to circle back to it.
- Don’t be selfish. Questions that can help more people will get answered first. If your question is specific to only your case, it’s going to take me longer to get to it.
Can’t Wait?
If you’re really in a hurry, you can join the community of TranSenz Supporters on Patreon. These are people who generously donate to help me cover the site costs and production expenses for this website for as little as a few dollars a month.
As one small way of expressing my gratitude to them, I answer their questions on a priority basis, including individual questions.
If you are interested in becoming a TranSenz supporter (whether or not you want faster answers), you can get all of the details here.
Subject Specific FAQs
As I release and publish new Q&As and Q&A videos, I will post each of them on a separate page for that subject. Before posting a new question, please check to see if it’s already been answered, to save yourself some time!
If you can’t find an answer, you can post your question in the comments on the subject-specific page or on this page.

Sir I’mfrom india, studying in 11th so i have some time but i have a question, our results of 12th examination are out on May but mext application starts from April so how can i attach my results in the mext application form??
Hi Islam Khan,
You should attach the most recent results you have at the time of the application deadline, even if they are not the final results.
While the application process starts in April (that’s when the guidelines typically come out), the deadline usually isn’t until late May, so your final results may even be in time.
Good Luck!

Hello , Travis!!! Thank you for your great job and your willing to help all the applicants. As a person who is going to apply for research student program (masters), I couldn’t find any information about passinfg the qualifying examination(Eglish, Japanese), so my question is what is the minimal passing score or percentage for both of them? Since it’s definitely not least important information I would be happy to know it.
Thank you in advance!!!
Hi Adele,
There is no official minimum passing score. You should try to do as well as possible to score better than the other applicants.
The Japanese test is only really critical if you’re applying for a program taught in Japanese (you are still required to attempt it in either case) and the English test is only required if you are applying to a program taught in English.
I have an article about the MEXT Scholarship tests including links to past exams that might help you prepare.
Good Luck!
