Okok that’s cool. I’m praying that since me and most others got second round offers our emails will come within the next week or so?

So we need to have enough moolah to last us a month basically.

Ahh big massive payments.

Ahahah. Stellar. I can’t wait for me email.

Hi, i’m just leaving you a test comment.

Why thank you miss! xD

Hey,
I was googling JASSO scholarship, and I am really confused. I have no idea how to apply for it. I will be studying at Kansai Gaidai all of next year, and was wondering if you could let me know..
Thanks,
Iya

Hey Iya,

The best thing for you to do is to inform your home institution about JASSO and let them handle it. If you’re studying abroad independently then i’m not too sure how to do it =( Perhaps you can email Kansai Gaidai? They might have some information too.
