You don't have to return the money.

These scholarships for our university students are from local enterprises. You don't have to return the money. Some scholarships are for both Japanese and overseas students, so these scholarships are highly competitive and hence, you are not guaranteed to be awarded the scholarships.

Nationwide scholarships
These scholarships are for overseas students studying at allow universities in Japan. You don't have to return the money. The numbers of adoption are limited. So, if you are referred by the university, you are not guaranteed an awarded.

As a principle, the University will not allow students to receive 2 or more scholarships at the same time. This is because it will not be fair if one student receives 2 or more scholarships and others not receive any.
So if you receive a recommendation of the university for one scholarship, you won’t get any recommendation for other scholarships unless you are not adopted for the former scholarship.

Scholarship deadlines and documents necessary for application will be posted on the “Web Service System” when the time comes. Late applications will not be accepted even if you have not seen the notices. Therefore make sure to check the “Web Service System” everyday.

The resident status must be “College Student” in order to receive a scholarship. Newcomers should be careful when applying because applications will not be accepted if their status is not “College Student”.
