Hello to all, I'm starting this thread so we can all share experiences and knowledge about the Monbukagakusho Scholarship for Graduate Students (Research Students), I'm from Mexico and I intend to apply for the scholarship at the Japanese embassy in my country, I'll post in here the links that I've gathered with information regarding this scholarship that focus on graduate Students, most of them are experiences written by other people, and I think they could be very useful for everyone here. If this thread is repeated please tell me, or erase it.
Please note that none of this links and the comments on them belong to me, and I don't intend to get credit for them, I just wish to share them so we can all use them and help each other out, if by posting this links I may cause any kind of mishap, please forgive me, it's not intended to cause trouble:
