This program provides support to students facing financial difficulties. It offers a monthly scholarship stipend as well as tuition and fee reductions (up to ¥700,000 per year). (Support may be suspended or adjusted depending on household financial status and academic performance.)
From the 2024 academic year, the program has been expanded to include households with multiple children and students enrolled in science, engineering, and agriculture departments in private universities. From the 2025 academic year, households with multiple children will be eligible for tuition reduction without income restrictions. (However, support is not automatically granted; you must apply.) Applications for the new higher education support program are announced via the FU Portal every April and September. Please check the information and follow the necessary procedures.
