Your last point confirmed what i thought.
Lidat 1 year...yes possible.

I didn't know got that such lucrative japan uni scholarship in existence.Else i would also give it a shot.T.T.

haha if you know where to look there is. if you are between age 17-22 you can apply for the monbukagakusho scholarship by MEXT : Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. it has the option of 1 year prep study of language and subjects before going uni or you can skip that(if you power enough) after which you apply and take exams for various japanese uni suited for your level. bond free also. the best scholarship to go japan. unless of course you are a psc scholar in which case its exactly the same scholarship but with bond. reason being monbukagakusho was supposedly offered through psc only until last year when they open applications to the public, i tried too but didn't go through the exam round to the interviews. very competitive, application usually starts in july. can go japanese embassy website for more info

That one is for full undergrad course in Japan.
The one I went was the Monbukagakusho (MEXT) Scholarship for Japanese Studies Student. Come to think of it, the selection criteria was extremely stringent.

First of all, your CAP in NUS must be between 4.0-5.0 and be active in CCA to be considered as likely candidate. After submitting application, you will have to go through a scholarship selection panel made up of 3-4 professors doctors etc. including department head. Depending on the result of the interview, NUS will sent not more than 5 candidates to the Japan Embassy.

From there, it is only the beginning. The candidates sent by NUS will have to take the proficiency test by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology, as well as face another scholarship selection panel at the Embassy made up of some big shots. This is worst than JLPT 1 as the test also has written components and short essays, unlike JLPT where you can 'ti kam', and everything, including the interview, is conducted in Japanese.

After that, your application will be send to Japan for further considerations and you will be notified by NUS if you are selected.

That was the process I had to go through to land myself in Japan.
The money was good and the experience was priceless. I managed to pay most of my university school fee with the money I saved from the scholarship.

Most scholarships will be competitive and rigorous,that's expected.

If i know this last year i would try out their exam round.Took a look at their sample questions for maths and science didnt look that difficult to me.
