Scholarships

Scholarships are awarded by a number of different organizations, such as the Japan Student Services Organization, local public organizations and private endowment groups. In all cases, scholarships are in principle awarded to students with both an outstanding academic record and character who are in good health and having trouble meeting the cost of their studies due to financial reasons.

Decisions on Successful Scholarship Candidates

Notification of successful scholarship candidates is made through a.net and notifications from the Student Support Center. A guidance session is held for scholarship recipients, where they will be issued with the relevant documents. Please make sure to attend this guidance session if you have been chosen to receive a scholarship.

Scholarships are paid into the specified bank account once a month. The first payment for 1st year students and for those chosen via reservation-type recruitment is the middle of May; for current students, the first payment is at the beginning of July.

Procedures for Continuing Scholarships

Scholarship recipients must submit the Application for a Continuation of Scholarship form via the Internet every year between the end of December and the end of January. Information on the distribution of related documents and submission deadlines is provided through a.net and notifications from the Student Support Center around December, so please do not forget to complete the necessary procedures. Those who neglect to submit their application in time will no longer qualify for receipt of the scholarship.

Suspension/Revocation of Scholarships

Students whose academic performance is significantly poor or who have failed to obtain the requisite credits, or students who have broken the rules on or off campus will be reported to the Japan Student Services Organization and have their right to scholarship payments either suspended or revoked.

Notification of Changes

Please inform the Student Support Center immediately of any changes to your status, such as if you withdraw, take a leave of absence or return to the university following a leave of absence, study abroad or wish to withdraw from the scholarship, or if there are changes to your bank account, address or telephone number, and complete the prescribed procedures.

Scholarship Repayments, Deferments and Exemptions

(1)Students whose loan payments have come to an end due to expiry, withdrawal or revocation of the award must submit the necessary documents for organizing repayments and make repayments through the prescribed method.

(2)Those who continue studying at the university or who go on to graduate school following the expiration to their scholarship can request a deferral from repayment for the remaining duration of their studies by submitting the designated Notification of Student Status form. Students who were in receipt of a Japan Student Services Organization (former Japan Scholarship Foundation) scholarship at high school should submit the Notification of Student Status form to the Student Support Center by the designated deadline following admission to the university. Furthermore, if following graduation extenuating circumstances, such as a disaster or injury/illness, mean that you have difficulty making repayments, you can apply for a deferral of payment for a certain period of time by applying to the Japan Student Services Organization prior to the due date for repayment.

Local Public Organizations and Private Endowment Groups

Other scholarships are available from local public organizations and private endowment groups. The recruitment period for these scholarships is mainly April and May. Information on recruitment for these scholarships through the university is provided through a.net and on the Student Support Center noticeboard. There are many organizations that recruit for scholarships directly rather than through the university, so please address enquiries about these directly to the organization concerned.
