Enrolling Foreign Children in Japanese Schools:
For parents and guaradians looking to register their children in Japanese schools, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has published a Guide for Foreign Students Entering Japanese Schools.
MEXT (Monbukagakusho) Scholarships:
Since 1954, the Japanese Government Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (Monbukagakusho or MEXT) has sponsored the MEXT Scholarship, bringing foreign students from around the world to study at Japanese universities. The program is aimed at high school graduates (or higher education), and currently offers 6 different scholarships: undergraduate, Japanese studies, research, special training, teacher training, and technology. For more information on these scholarships and how to apply, visit our MEXT Scholarships page.
Additionally, we encourage you to take a look at our list of Non-MEXT options to study in Japan.
