Scholarship for Studying Japanese

Minna-sama,

Konnichiwa,

I need your advise on Scholarship for studying Japanese. Actually I am leaving here in Japan with my wife who is working here. I would like to study Japanese for one year or so ( extensive course ) and I don't want to study without scholarship. I would really appreciate if you can tell me various options based on my needs.

Thank you very much for your help in advance!

Rgds,
Endya

If you are looking for a low-cost option, you might want to ask at your city/ward hall if they have any Japanese language classes given by volunteer teachers for the non-Japanese residents in the community.

I cannot think of scholarship for studying the local language...

I'm going to apple for the Japanese studies which is for high school graduates but you might want to go with research studies or what ever goes better with the position your in..here it is:

I'm not sure if its okay that your in japan now but that seems like a good way to go.

They are going to put up the 2010 application in june.
