New support system for higher education (tuition fee reductions and grant-type scholarships)
1. Overview
1. Regarding the institutions covered by the new higher education student support system
Since the 2020 academic year, a new student support system has been implemented for students excluding international students, based on the "Act on Support for Studying at Universities and Other Institutions," and our university is an institution eligible for this new higher education student support system.
2. Overview of the New Student Support System
The new system expands the scope of eligible recipients and the amount of support compared to the previous Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) grant scholarships. Furthermore, it now includes tuition fee reductions, resulting in a significant increase in the total amount of support when combined with the grant scholarships. (The free tuition for families with multiple children, starting in fiscal year 2025, is also part of this new student support system.)
To receive support under this system, you must apply for a grant-type scholarship from the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) and be certified as eligible. The amount of tuition and other fee reductions will be determined based on your certified support category. (The amount of grant-type scholarship support is divided into four categories based on household income, etc.)

3. About the system
