1. Tuition Exemption and Reduction Schemes
Free and Reduced Tuition Fees Under New Higher Education Assistance Scheme
SHOKEI GAKUIN UNIVERSITY has been selected as an institution covered by the Japanese Government’s New Higher Education Assistance Scheme. Eligibility for free or reduced tuition from the government generally requires that application for a grant scholarship be lodged with the Japan Students Service Organization (JASSO). Students who wish to apply for free or reduced tuition should attend the briefing held on campus during the orientation period in spring each year.
