One of the language schools that I'm looking into (Naganuma) requires a bank statement from an account with a balance of at least 3 million yen. Unfortunately, 3M yen (nearly $21,000 USD) is about half of my yearly salary at my current full-time job, and I have very little savings outside of an emergency fund. My parents do not have the necessary minimum bank balance either. My tentative plan upon acceptance was to move home with my parents for the summer and work as much as possible to save a projected $10-15,000 before selling my car for around $8-10k. This would bring me to the required bank balance and would allow me to pay for tuition and accommodations up front, but this would not happen until late July or early August. Do you have any suggestions for me as a prospective student regarding this issue? I could potentially apply for a student loan here in the US, but there is no way it could be approved, processed, and dispersed before the application deadline.
