After stressing all week, I discovered this evening that the department responsible for the subsidy we applied for posted their list of grantees.. for this month.

We are not on it.. in fact strangely there are only 2 and they are both in the same city.. this is a nationwide grant and the previous two months had around 20 successful applicants each from various places around Japan..

Something is not right here.. we noticed though that on our feedback we were assigned to group B. So potentially this is the results for group A and ours will come in a week or two (they posted twice in May so not impossible).

Either way, we haven’t heard yet and presumably we would before it was made public so I am trying not to stress even more than I already was..
