Plans to study in Japan rarely stall because of one exam. They stall when you don't know what comes next, or when it's due. The new ScholarStark homepage answers that question first: what to do, and roughly when.
See every step of your path
Choose language school, technical college, university or graduate school. The Journey timeline then walks you through each stop: finding schools, preparing documents, applying, getting your visa and arriving. Every stop shows what to prepare and roughly when, checked against official sources.
Get help at each step
Inside ScholarStark you'll find:
Courses: video lessons, from writing your Statement of Purpose to your professor interview.
Resources: guides, checklists and real scholarship essays, so you never start from a blank page.
AI Support: a University Recommender and a Scholarship Finder to help you shortlist where to apply.
Q&A Forum: ask anonymously, and coaches and other students answer.
Internships: paid 2–8 week project internships at companies in Hamamatsu and Shizuoka, once you're in Japan.
You can start with the basics for free.
Learn from someone who has done it
Si Thu Lin, ScholarStark's founder, came from Myanmar to Shizuoka University in 2022 with a full tuition exemption. Since then, Lin has paid for the degree with scholarships, one application at a time, and not every application won. The homepage shows those rejections too, so you see what the road really looks like.
Hear it from 17 students
Seventeen students share what changed after working with ScholarStark, in their own words, in English and in Burmese.
Your account, better protected
While rebuilding the homepage, the team also tightened security across the whole site:
Your browser now gets stricter rules about what the site may load and run, which blocks common attacks such as injected scripts.
Anything you do while logged in, like saving a resource or updating your profile, is only accepted when it comes from ScholarStark itself, never from another website.
The software behind the site is updated to fix known security issues.
Payments go through Stripe and Dodo Payments, so ScholarStark never sees or stores your card details.
Talk it through before you decide
