Confusion with mext scholarship eligibility
Hello! First of all, I am from the Philippines. An incoming grade 12 student (SHS or mostly known as upper secondary school). I've been wondering if my case could make an exception:)?
An info for my school year end, my school will end and have the ceremonial on april 5-8 2027 but my final and last exam would be on march 22-23. Do you think this could qualify me enough?
I can't post pictures so I copy pasted this.
- I am an incoming grade 12 this school year and the possible graduation is in March 2024. Am I eligible to apply?
Those who will be able to finish 12 years of schooling on or before March 2027 can apply. In principle, applicants must be able to arrive in Japan between April 1, 2027 and April 7, 2027.
** Aspiring applicants for the Undergraduate or Specialized Training categories who will graduate after March 2027 are advised to apply in the next application process (i.e. 2028 program).

ADDITIONAL INFO: I already went to my nearby consulate-general of japan but they said they could not provide me an answer for the mext scholarship and I have already emailed them. I just want to post this just in case someone has the same problem and has already contacted the embassy or someone who also experienced the same problem before:)
