By joining MEXT Scholars Association, you can stay connected with other MEXT scholars through being informed of a range of regular events that bring you opportunities to meet former and current MEXT students from many different universities.

Benefits of joining MSA

We hold regular events throughout Japan and forward information that include internship, career support, seminars, conferences, and networking parties. Of course we also do hold casual things like fireworks festivals visits and barbeques too!

Our goal by doing our activities is to allow every MEXT scholar make the best of the scholarship through making links with current fellow scholars as well as with MEXT alumni who have established a professional career in Japan and worldwide.

We usually send out information about such events through our mailing list which you can sign up for here. We also have an active Facebook group where members share information and discuss various topics.

Beyond just attending events, you can also help us run them! We are always looking for people who want to contribute to the community by organizing events, writing articles, helping with social media, or simply being a regional contact point.
