About MEXT Compass

An independent guide for considered MEXT Scholarship preparation.

We bring together original examples, worksheets, planning advice, and links to official guidance. This edition of the playbook was checked on 18 October 2026; a later application cycle may have different requirements.

Independent by design

MEXT Compass is not affiliated with MEXT, JASSO, a Japanese embassy, or a university. The relevant authority’s current guidelines govern your application. No guide can guarantee admission or scholarship selection.
