In order for students to lead stable and fulfilling university lives, Akita University has put in place a financial support system including tuition fee waivers and scholarships, as well as insurance policies to guard against accidents and other unforeseen events.
The admission fee is ¥282,000, which is to be paid when completing the admission procedures. The tuition fee is ¥535,800 per year. The first semester installment is ¥267,900, which is to be paid when completing the admission procedures and second semester installment during October. Note that the second semester installment can also be paid at the same time as the first semester installment.
In the event that the tuition fee is revised at the time of enrolment or at any stage while enrolled at this university, the new tuition fee will apply from the time of revision.
The Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) has put in place a system of scholarship loans for students with both an outstanding academic record and character who are having trouble meeting the cost of their studies due to financial reasons. The university screens and recommends students at the request of the individual concerned, based on which JASSO selects recipients for this award. Recipients from among new students are selected and scholarships are paid out at the beginning of July.
