Scholarships can be broadly divided into "benefit type (return not required)" and "lending type (return obligation occurs at the same time as graduation)". In addition, there are two types of "lending type": interest-free type and interest-bearing type.

As for the types of scholarships, in addition to the Japan Student Services Organization Scholarship, which is a national scholarship project, local governments (such as the Board of Education) and private organizations have established their own scholarship programs.

I’m focused on April.

[Japan Student Services Organization]
We are recruiting students in April every year. An application briefing will be held in early April, so if you wish to receive a scholarship or are considering it, please be sure to participate. In addition, there is a reservation recruitment system that applies for scholarships before entering university (when attending high school). For more information, please contact the high school you are enrolled in.

[Scholarships for Local Governments and Private Organizations]
Although it depends on each group, it is concentrated in March to May. For more information, please contact your preferred organization.

It will be held at the window of universities, high schools, and organizations.

[Japan Student Services Organization]
Students will be hired at the university window after entering the university.
Reservation recruitment will be performed at the high school where you are enrolled in the third year of high school.

[Scholarships for Local Governments and Private Organizations]
As a general rule, each person will do it at the counter of each organization.
(If there is a request for recruitment from the University, we will inform you on the bulletin board each time.)

There are many organizations that are not allowed to pay together.

The Japan Student Services Organization does not prohibit co-payment with scholarships for other organizations, but many organizations other than the Japan Student Services Organization prohibit co-payment. For more information, please contact your preferred organization.

It may not be accepted.

It is premised that the conditions and standards set by each organization are met, but even if it is met, it may not be adopted due to budget and recruitment frame.

If the household budget changes suddenly due to unemployment, bankruptcy, accident, illness or death of the livelihood maintainer, disaster such as fire, storm and flood damage, etc., and if a scholarship is urgently needed, we will recruit at any time. Please consult with the support group.

It depends on the scholarship organization, loan amount, interest rate, etc.

For the Japan Student Services Organization Scholarship, you can estimate the total refund amount, monthly installment refund amount, number of repayments, etc. at the "Scholarship Loan / Return Simulation" site below. Please take advantage of it.

It may be abolished due to poor academic performance.

Scholarships are loaned (benefits) to excellent students who have difficulty studying for financial reasons. If the acquisition credits are significantly small or if they retire, the scholarship will be "abolished" and the transfer will be suspended. The scholarship student's qualifications will be lost. Please note that return may be demanded in the case of a payment scholarship.
In addition, if you violate the rules set by each organization, the recruitment will be canceled or the loan (benefit) will be discontinued. Please read the rules carefully and be aware of it as a scholarship student.
