Studying in Japan: Scholarship

Hello everybody,
This isn't entirely a travel-related question, but I was actually so lost and didn't know where to seek advice. Well, I am an african citizen born in Japan. I wish to pursue my master degree in Japan, I tried to apply to Japan's universities, but I'm ineligible for the primary scholarship (MEXT). I can't support myself financially. I really don't have any idea how to start. Should I first apply for universities and which one offer english based program or shoud I instead look for financial support ? As I was born in Japan can't I have some privilege ?

Please help I really don't know what to do!!

I am an african citizen

Africa is not a country.

As I was born in Japan can't I have some privilege ?

I don't know of any scholarship that discriminates based on place of birth.

Anyway, see http://www.jasso.go.jp/en/study_j/scholarships/brochure.html

if you are Japanese PR you are not qualify for scholarship...
you should visit japanese embassy in your country.

if you are Japanese PR you are not qualify for scholarship...

Nonsense.

it was a mistake
Applicants with Japanese nationality are not eligible unless they are dual nationals of Japan and another country and reside outside of Japan at the time of application. Dual national applicants selected for the scholarship will be required renounce their Japanese nationality by the date of their arrival in Japan.

Actually, in my experience, the vast majority of scholarships require the applicant to hold a student visa. PR holders are ineligible (e.g. for any JASSO administered scholarship).
