MEXT Research Scholarship: Get a Master’s Degree in Japan for Free

The Tofugu Podcast: Japan and Japanese Language

The MEXT Research Scholarship is Japan's government-funded program that will let you do a free master's and cover living expenses to boot.

...Sounds too good to be true? Well, Emily is living proof that it's not.

In this episode, Kanae and Rachel welcome Tofugu’s new writer Emily as a co-host and talk about her experience with the scholarship program she just finished in Nagoya a few months ago. Anyone who’s curious about MEXT will find some insight into the application process in this chat, as well as a few words of support if you decide to go for it.
