I have heard complaints regarding people not finding any comprehensive preparation material/guide onto how to obtain the Monbukagakusho (MEXT) Research Scholarship (for Prospective Master's and PhD).

Recently, I found one that fit my expectations: Monbukagakusho Preparation Guide - http://www.GraduateInJapan.com.

What other Monbusho preparation resources are out there? What do you recommend? Let's share these resources here.

Best wishes.

I have also been looking for preparation resources for Monbukagakusho Scholarship for some time. I think at first the official guidelines should be checked. A lot of information can be found at this site http://www.studyjapan.go.jp/en/toj/toj0307e.html.

You can also check Monbukagakusho Scholars Organization Homepage(www.monbusho.org) for more information shared by the current scholarship holders.

Hope these links help you with your preparation.I will check your link soon. Hope that helps me:)

Thanks
