The Japan Student Services Organization loaned scholarships are loaned during your university enrollment and must be returned after graduation. The returned scholarship will be lent immediately as junior scholarships, and if the refund is not made smoothly, it will seriously hinder the junior scholarship loan. Please understand the mechanism of this system, which can only be achieved by fulfilling their responsibilities as scholars, and be sure to return them as promised.

Notes

1. Regarding the commencement of scholarship refund (if the end of maturity in March 2023)
   The refund will start (first transfer date) will be October 27, 2023 (Friday). It will be automatically transferred from the relay account that has been processed. Check the account of the registered financial institution in advance, and be careful not to be able to transfer due to insufficient balance.
   　
   ※Caution※
   Scholarships will be refunded by direct debit (automatic debit). Returns can be made promptly and reliably by using the prescribed "Bank Transfer (Relay Account) Enrollment Application Form". Everyone, including those who make early returns, must join. Registration for relay accounts for those who expire in March 2023 will be announced until the end of November 2022.
   Also, if you change the account set when applying for a relay account, please complete the procedure immediately (postal procedure is possible).

    

2. About various procedures
   If there is any change in the information (address, work place, telephone number, etc.) entered in the return pledge, please notify the Japan Student Services Organization using the prescribed form or on the dedicated website (Scalanet Personal). If you do not notify us of the change, you may not receive an important notice from the Japan Student Services Organization.
   Please contact the Scholarship Consultation Center (0570-666-301) for refund procedures.

    

3. Regarding advance return
   All or part of the installments that have not yet reached the due date can be refunded. If you wish to return it early, please apply using the prescribed format or a dedicated website (Scala Net Personal).

    

4. In the case of overdue
   Please note that if the refund is delayed due to insufficient balance or unsubmission of notification, etc., it will result in arrears and arrearages will be charged.
   In addition, if you continue to be in arrears, your personal information will be registered with the "Personal Credit Information Authority", and you may not be able to set up credit card usage restrictions, mortgages, etc.

    

5. When the return becomes difficult
   If the scholarship student becomes difficult to return due to economic difficulties, unemployment, illness, disaster, etc., he / she can request a reduction in the installment amount (reduction refund) or a postponement of the refund deadline.
