	FAQs</h2>

	1. Can I apply for the JASSO Scholarship from Pakistan?

	Usually, no. You typically apply for JASSO scholarships, especially the Monbukagakusho Honors Scholarship, through the Japanese university that accepts you after you&rsquo;ve been admitted. If you&rsquo;re part of a student exchange program, your home university will handle the application.

	2. Is the JASSO Scholarship fully funded?

	No, it&rsquo;s not fully funded like the MEXT Scholarship. JASSO provides a monthly allowance for living expenses, but it usually doesn&rsquo;t cover tuition fees, entrance fees, or airfare. That said, many Japanese universities have their own tuition waivers or cuts for international students.

	3. What GPA do I need for the JASSO Scholarship?

	Generally, you need a minimum GPA of 2.30 out of 3.00 (or its equivalent) based on last year&rsquo;s grades. The way they calculate it might differ a bit according to JASSO&#39;s rules.

	4. Do I need to know Japanese for the JASSO Scholarship?

	While there are many programs in English, it helps to know some Japanese, like JLPT N2 or a particular score on the EJU Japanese test, especially for specific programs. Even programs in English will benefit from having some basic Japanese skills for daily life in Japan.

	5. Can I work part-time while I have the JASSO Scholarship?

	Yes, you can work part-time while studying in Japan, but you need permission and can&#39;t work more than 28 hours a week. Just keep in mind that there are limits on other income sources with the JASSO scholarship, so make sure your total earnings stay within the allowed limits.

	6. What if I get another scholarship while on JASSO?

	JASSO usually doesn&rsquo;t allow you to get other scholarships that bring in more than a certain amount each month (like &yen;80,000). You have to report any other scholarships you get, and going over that limit could disqualify you from JASSO. Always check the specific rules.

	7. How competitive is the JASSO Scholarship?

	The JASSO scholarship is pretty competitive since there are limited spots and it depends on the quotas given to each university in Japan. A good academic record and clear financial need are key to getting selected.
