Canada Scholarships for Japanese LS?

I am planning on going to a Japan Language School in Oct 2016 after I finish college and I am also working while I go to school to pay for it, my goal is 30k+ by Oct 2016 because it's better to have more extra money then less of course, and I was looking through Scholarships and it's better to find them now and apply when I can then wait and search.

I found a few like Jasso, Gilman, Freeman but it seems they are only for US Citizens and I live in Canada which in this case is really unfortunate since if you are able to get it they can really help pay for the school.

I just found MEXT which is the first Canadian Scholarship I found for Japan and the site says it will pay full tuition which is amazing (if anyone has any more info about this scholarship I would love to hear it)

Of course though I would like to find more scholarships just in case I don't get the MEXT one, so if anyone that lives in Canada that is also going to a JLS or just knows about good scholarships, I would love to know about them!

Thank you!

My friend is German and got a JASSO scholarship for Chiba and Osaka university so it's not limited to US residents.

But from what I've understood the MEXT scholarship can't be used for Japanese language schools.

If you are planning to to go college/university in Japan and need to go to a language school beforehand, then it's possible to use the MEXT (but the LS are pre-selected for you?).

Some language schools offer their own scholarships but these are for 1-2 year courses.

But please, anybody correct me if I am wrong!

Thank you asahana!

Yeah, I'm planning on going for the 2 year Language course, the LS I'm interested in going to also has a Business course which I would like to take since it will help me from what I'm taking in college.

The Jasso scholarship seems really good and hopefully not to difficult to get, thank you for all the links!

If you or anyone else knows other scholarships that can help me out (or any other people) it would be great if it was posted here :D

Thanks again!

Depending on where the school you want to attend is located, the local (municipal or prefectoral) government might also offer a scholarship.
