There are two types of scholarships: "grant-type scholarships" that do not need to be repaid, and "loan-type scholarships" that need to be repaid after graduation.

We support students' studies through various scholarships, including financial aid scholarships aimed at providing economic assistance, and educational scholarships that reward academically outstanding students.

Financial support scholarships

Scholarships that are offered on a regular basis

Scholarships that you apply for while you're still a student have specific application periods.

Scholarships and other programs available for application during sudden changes in household finances or disasters.

This scholarship and support program is for students whose household finances have drastically changed due to the death, illness, unemployment, separation, or disaster of the main breadwinner, making it difficult for them to continue their studies. Applications must be submitted within a certain period after the change in household finances or disaster.
