I got the JASSO scholarship!! Starting Sept 2009 and ending in Aug 2010 I will receive a stipend of 80,000¥ a month plus a one time settlement allowance of 80,000¥. That comes out to about 10,000USD. This is going to help big time!
So...
Total program cost: 3,077,479.90¥
Duttenhaver (according to the current exchange rate of $1.00=95.34¥) = ~476,700¥
JASSO= 1,040,000¥
Total program cost post scholarships: 1,560,779.90¥ ($16,370.67)
not too bad. The loans should cover all that jazz! wooooo!
I'm so jealous of you right now. I always wanted to go to Asia. Anywhere in Asia, it doesn't matter where. I hope you're having a bitchin' time!
