0:18
basically share a lot of very cool stuff on finding scholarships or just about like studying abroad
0:25
So basically in this video we're going to talk about how to find scholarships in
0:29
Japan. So I'm going to leave a link in the description, but you don't really need that link
0:35
Because the first thing, as you can see, this is our website. This is our front page global
0:40
scholarships.com, which is a free platform. Doesn't require a registration, like an account
0:46
doesn't require anything. It's just completely free. And as you can see, we have our search tool
0:50
here, which is an amazing tool. And we're going to talk about it in a couple of minutes now
0:55
But the thing is, first, like, if you want to find scholarships in Japan, you probably want to study in Japan
1:02
So, if so, we have some really good collections, some very comprehensive collections of guides that we have
1:11
As you can see, we have quite a lot of guides here, but specifically we're going to see under the guide section, we have, as you can see, country guides, which are, as you can see, like collections of guides that we have for
1:24
different multiple countries. Basically, as you can see, hang on, we have one for like South Korea
1:31
Japan, Singapore, in Asia and like in Europe, Norway, Italy, Germany, Finland, and of course
1:38
North America and Canada. Basically, these are collections. We're going to see them. Now, of course
1:44
the whole thing is about just like finding scholarships, but if you're, if you're interested in studying
1:49
in Japan, these guides, as you can see, there are many of them will give you
1:54
so much information that probably you will leave this page without any considerable gaps in your knowledge
2:02
about studying in that country. For example, we have, like, maybe you're interested in the education system of that country
2:10
like higher education in Japan. What are some of the cons, pros and cons of that education system
2:16
How to choose a university? As you can see, these are all different. You can click on them and go to our guides
2:22
and these are all like full guides on that specific topic, right
2:29
Like best English taught universities in Japan, best private universities, best public universities
2:34

2:46
culinary schools, marine biology, and we have actually more like dental, medical schools. A lot of people are interested in studying in medical school in Japan, right
3:00
Okay, everything is working well. And then applying to a university. And here we have like one
3:05
complete guide to university applications in Japan. And then we have like different
3:11
guides for different levels of education. For example, bachelors. Here we have bachelors
3:17
Right. And like these are all guides. And like one thing that is really good
3:22
that I really like is that, for example, there's one for University of Tokyo that, like
3:28
we have not only, for example, let me show you. Now, we have our pages for every single university, right
3:38
This is our page for that university, which gives you quite a lot of information about, like
3:42
the overview, admission, like population, how many scholarships there are. And then for some select universities, we have how to get into that university
3:52
like admission process and tips these guides and as you can see we have also their videos
3:58
two on our YouTube channel basically we have like some we have these for some school I believe we
4:06
have a Tohoku University we have one for that as well and there are more incoming probably by the
4:12
time you say this there will be more but keep that in mind like we have we go through the
4:17
application process we give you quite a lot of information all right so other
4:22
that application, we have documents and tests needed for inverse applications in that country
4:29
Like, as you can see, standardized tests or, like, effective statement of interest, and we have
4:36
language proficiency tests. This is one of the topics that we have a lot of questions on our live streams as well
4:45
If you do not know, we do live streams every Friday on TikTok and YouTube, we answer questions
4:51
and as you can see there are like multiple of guides for pretty much every test you will see toffle
4:59
LTS and even the oldingo English test which is which is becoming more and more popular
5:04
and then we have financing your studies of course we have like how to study in Japan for free
5:11
which is one of the most popular topics in our YouTube channel as well as you can see we have
5:17
another video on that too and like cheapest universities, cheapest programs, and of course, scholarship opportunities, the thing we're going to
5:25
see today. Now, we have more other here, like types of visa, work opportunities, online degrees
5:33
acceptance rates, etc. You can look into those two. But today we're going to focus on
5:37
scholarship opportunities Basically we have three guides on these And if you interested in studying in Japan you probably know about this one Japanese government scholarships
5:49
which is one of the most popular scholarships that we get a lot of questions about
5:55
And this is our guide for that, Japanese government scholarships. As you can see, we have like 22 comments
6:04
in this just one article guide. And as you can see, if you have any questions, you can just leave them in our comment section
6:12
And He only, which is the founder of global scholarships, answers all of them
6:18
There are no unanswered questions, as you can clearly see. So if we want to learn more about this one, we also have made a video on this one too
6:28
So yeah. And then we have 14 best scholarships in Japan for international students
6:34
Actually, you know what? I'm going to leave the link for this one too in a description
6:38
And as you can see, we have a list. Now, look, if you're interested in any one of these, you can just click on scholarship page to go
6:50
Hang on, not this one, of course. This is not a very good example. This one is not true
7:00
Hang on. Let's see. Okay. So basically, we also have scholarships in our database, and we have pages
7:08
for scholarships and we're going to see how these work in a minute
7:12
Basically, they give you pretty much every single piece of information you might need
7:16
Right. And then we have currently open scholarships in Japan. As you can see, these give you like the opportunities that are open for application right now
7:27
All right. As you can see, like you can choose your degree, bachelor's, master's, and type of scholarships
7:34
We're going to talk about that in a second. but you don't need any of these, okay
7:40
Like if you're just interested in finding scholarships, searching for scholarships in Japan
7:47
you can just discard all of these and go to global scholarships.com
7:51
which I'm going to show you now how to use our search tool to find scholarships, right
7:56
So basically we have our search tool. It's completely free. You can just type in Japan
8:03
As you can see, we have country here, and you can go to our search tool. our results. As you can see, in our database, hang on a second, in our database we have
8:12
about 300 different scholarships in Japan that are available for international students right now
8:18
You can filter here by degree, by locations, of course, it is Japan, by scholarship type
8:26
scholarship deadlines, subject nationalities. Now, scholarship type, there are three different scholarship types. One is partial funding, which covers less than your tuition
8:36
fees so it doesn't pay your tuition fees. We have full tuition, which covers your tuition fees
8:42
completely. And then we have full funding, which is the best type of scholarship, which covers your
8:48
tuition fees and then gives you some more financial aid. Maybe it's your accommodation. Maybe it
8:53
gives you an allowance. Maybe it gives you a stipend, like a certain amount of money every month
8:58
every year. Some schools have scholarships that cover like a laptop perhaps. So like full funding means
9:06
it's more than tuition fees, right? And then we have subjects and nationalities
9:12
So let's find some scholarships, for example, they're suitable for me. Let's say PhD in Japan
9:22
I am looking for full funding scholarships. As you can see, there are, like most scholarships are either partial funding
9:29
more than 135, some of them full tuition, about 62. and of course full funding scholarships, which are the most comprehensive and most beneficial ones
9:39
of course, there are less, there are fewer of those scholarships. And let's say subjects, let's say economics, right, which is my area of study
9:49
So here's one thing. Usually people come to our live streams and ask like, how I'm from this country, I am studying this subject
10:00
are there any scholarships for me? Usually most scholarships don't have specific subjects
10:06
They don't like exclude certain subjects. There are some scholarships that are for specific subjects
10:12
Like maybe it's about, it's just for chemical engineering. But mostly it's just, as you can see, all subjects
10:19
All subjects. But one thing to keep in mind that all subjects means all subjects that are offered by that university
10:26
So you could go to a scholarship. If you study, for example, let's say, I don't know, food studies, fashion, perhaps, like a subject that not offered in every school
10:41
So keep in mind that, like, to be able to get this scholarship from this university, the subject you want to study should be offered by that university
10:50
So I would go to the university and look into their programs. Okay
10:55
So but these are all subjects. But usually scholarships don't really care all that much about subjects
11:02
And of course, nationality, let's say Turkey. Again, most scholarships don't really care about your nationality
11:08
Some scholarships are specifically for people coming from some specific countries, but most of them are not
11:16
As you can see, we have like 11 scholarships here. If you are a bachelor student as you can see we have like 10 other scholarships for bachelors for students who want to study undergraduate Now if there is any one of these scholarships that you interested in
11:35
you can get more information by clicking on any of them and going to our page, again, our scholarship page
11:42
Now, I'm going to show you how it works because it gives you so much information
11:46
and takes you from point of zero to the point where we can contact the university
11:52
Right. This is our page that we have for this specific scholarship, Global 30 undergraduate
11:58
scholarship at Nagoya University in Japan. So we have scholarship summary here, like level of study
12:05
bachelor, host institution. It's full funding, again, all nationalities, all subjects. They give
12:11
you all this summary information. And then we have scholarship coverage, basically what it covers
12:18
Payment of tuition for four years, reimbursement of registration fee through monthly
12:22
installments and annual stipend of 500,000 Japanese yen for living costs for four years
12:28
Now, one thing you might be asking at this point, how much is the tuition fee
12:33
Like, what is this? What, like payment of tuition fee for four years? How much does it cover anyway
12:38
So if you have any questions about this specific university that this scholarship is in
12:45
you can just click on the university here and then go to our page for that university
12:51
And as you can see, we have every piece of information, location, population, scholarships, admission process
12:59
You can just click on any of these links to go to the universities page for admissions
13:04
We have application deadlines. And we have, as you can see, tuition fees, not only in local currencies, but also in dollars
13:14
So basically, it's about $4,000 per year for this school. So this scholarship will be covering your tuition fees for four years
13:23
So it's about like $16,000 in full, the tuition fees. Right. And so we have, as you can see, this covers $16,000 worth of tuition fees
13:36
reimbursement of registration fee, and as you can see, this many, this much annual stipend
13:42
So other than that, we have the eligibility criteria in our page. Basically, for this one, a non-recipient of government
13:49
or private scholarship worth more than 500,000 Japanese yen annually. We have application procedure, which gives you quite a lot of detailed information
14:00
As you can see, application process. A separate scholarship application is needed
14:05
For global 30 undergraduate scholarship, you'll have to collect these requirements, application form, of course, and income statement
14:12
Why? So they can make sure you are not getting any other scholarships that are above 500,000
14:19
Japanese yen, right? And then once you have those ready, follow these steps to submit your
14:24
scholarship application and requirements, like these steps, right? And then, as you can see
14:30
we have our deadlines here. Like basically, what it covers? What are the eligibility criteria for
14:36
the scholarship? What is the application process? What are the deadlines? Pretty much everything
14:40
you might ask for this scholarship. And if you have even more questions, you can just come here
14:45
and leave a comment, and Jan Lee, founder of global scholarships, answers all of those questions, right
14:53
And if you get even, if we want to get even more information from our page
14:59
you can just click here, on Apply Now, to go to the universities' page for that scholarship
15:05
So, see, this takes you from point zero here, actually, point zero, let's say here
15:11
to the point where you don't even know what scholarship opportunities you have in this specific country
15:17
to the point where you can get information from the university directly about a scholarship that you know is suitable for you
15:24
if it is suitable for you. So as you can see, we have information pretty much the same information
15:30
that we have on our page because this is where we get the information from, basically
15:35
Global scholarships, so searches every available scholarship information and puts that in just one website
15:44
We have more information here, monthly living expenses for this one. I'm just trying to show you
15:49
what information you can get from the university, right? And so this is for graduate and for undergraduate
15:57
As you can see, we have common applicants who wish to be considered for scholarships
16:03
both Global 30 and Max scholarships. And submit all required documents during an application period
16:10
will be automatically considered as a candidate. So basically, this is the application process. We have eligibility requirements
16:17
We have common selection. Academic and non-academic criteria and extracurricular activities will be
16:23
evaluated together with financial need. And then, of course, you have the application form that is
16:29
mentioned, which is pretty much the same for G30. Like this is, like this process goes for both
16:36
G30 undergraduate scholarship, which we have been talking about and Max scholarship, right
16:41
And here we have the application form. So like you come to a point where you have the application form for this scholarship
16:49
All right. So our website basically takes you from the point zero to the point where you are downloading the application form
16:58
So which is why it's so great. Our search tool, our scholarship pages, our school pages, our school pages
17:06
But let say you want to get even more information not from just like like a website not just from the university but from people who actually got the scholarship who actually received that scholarship
17:18
I want to get more information from someone who got maxed scholarship, right
17:24
What are what insights they can offer to me? Global scholarships does something really cool that I really like
17:32
Now on our website, front page, you can go to resources. And as you can see, we have scholarship stories, which basically is stories that global scholarship
17:44
has been like trying to find by reaching out to scholarship recipients
17:50
So as you can see, we have scholarship recipients, scholarship stories by degree, by country
17:55
by funding, by nationality. So for Japan, of course, you can go to scholarship stories by country
18:01
And as you can see, we have quite a lot, quite a lot of these people who shared
18:06
their stories about the scholarship they receive. And we are still looking for more people
18:13
more stories, more scholarship recipients, right? And of course, like for example, this one is from Japan
18:20
This one is from Netherlands. We can just click on Japan scholarships
18:25
to go to our scholarship recipients, scholarship stories from Japan. As you can see, we have for now
18:32
just four people here, but more will be coming. And then we can
18:36
You can just click on these people to learn their stories about
18:41
I'm also going to share the link for this one in the description
18:45
So if you want to read them yourself, you can just click on those links
18:50
Basically, we have four people here. They share their journey. Scholarship details, mostly these are maxed scholarships
18:57
Again, Japanese government scholarships, one of the best scholarships that you can get pretty much anywhere
19:04
but especially in Japan. And their educational background, like what graded they had, how did you prepare to apply for scholarships and institutions, what would you have done differently if you were going to going through the process again, which is a very interesting insight
19:26
What advice would you give those looking to apply for a similar scholarship
19:31
We basically ask these questions to all of them, even though they have different backgrounds
19:36
Let me tell you most of these is like what advice is pretty much they like look for more information
19:44
all the information about those scholarships that you're interested in are out there
19:48
So search them and like make sure you are ready to like you know what to do for that scholarship
19:55
which is something they all say. Committed the process fully devote time and effort in making necessary preparations
20:04
and of course one thing that they, especially for Japan, they will keep bringing up is language
20:11
So, for example, that for this scholarship, you don't have to know Japanese
20:19
There are some English taught universities that they don't have to learn Japanese to study in
20:25
but they make a really good point in that it's not about what you just
20:31
it's not just about what you have to have, but learning the language will make sure
20:37
that you are doing well academically, you are doing well communicating with people
20:44
finding part-time jobs. See? Approprieties for internships, part-time jobs, and a full-fledged role
20:51
As you can see, for this person, too, comfortably learning the language and culture beforehand
20:59
and this one too, make sure to obtain a Japanese language proficiency certificate
21:05
like the JLP, and this one, learning the language, learning the language
21:14
learning the language, basically. So it's one of the most important things that you can do
21:18
One thing that is interesting, one interesting example is that, yeah, this person
21:26
Right? So they are from Cambodia And basically they say I may not have been the top student in my batch
21:35
But I have always been very active in both the academic community and social projects
21:40
My GPA for my bachelor's degree in international relations was 3.5 out of four
21:45
And I conducted a research thesis in my final year Which earned me honors and distinction upon graduation
21:52
So they talk about like how their GPA was not extremely high, but still by being very active academically, they were able to get one of the
22:03
best scholarships that you could get in Japan or pretty much anywhere, really
22:09
So, yeah, as you can see, we have quite a lot of information in global scholarships.com
22:14
You can get more information about the scholarships, about the countries, sorry, about the scholarship
22:21
about the universities, pretty much anything that you might be interested in, we have here
22:27
And also we have a YouTube channel, we have a TikTok channel. And so if you're interested, give this video like, maybe follow our YouTube channel
22:37
maybe follow our TikTok account. And keep in mind that we do live streams every Friday on both YouTube and TikTok where you can come
22:46
learn about more scholarship opportunities, and ask any questions that you might have
22:51
So yeah, that's pretty much it. Thank you for watching and see you in the next one
