Thank you so much for this course! It broaden my view on how to get a scholarship and to focus a little better my objetive to study at a Japanese university. Since I am in my final years of my student's career (PhD.) I hope I can get a MEXT scholarship, or maybe some specific scholarship after. All the videos were very instructive and serene. It was delightful to listen the conversations and all the tips to get what the title says: Study in Japan!
