New Study Support System for Higher Education
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "New Support System for Higher Education" was launched in April 2020 as a system to support motivated children in continuing their education at universities, junior colleges, technical colleges, and vocational schools free of charge by providing exemptions or reductions on tuition and admission fees, as well as grant-type scholarships that do not require repayment.
All undergraduate students who are eligible for scholarships are eligible to receive tuition and admission fee reductions according to the scholarship support category.
Since the amount of tuition and admission fee exemption is linked to the status of grant scholarship payment, if your certification as a grant scholarship student is revoked or payments are suspended, you will not be eligible for tuition and admission fee reduction or exemption.
また、令和7年度より多子世帯の学生等について、大学等の授業料・入学金を無償とすることが決定されました。この制度は高等教育の修学支援新制度の枠組みの中で実施されるため、多子世帯支援の条件に該当し、入学料・授業料の免除を希望する方は以下の申請要領に従い、免除の申請をしてください。
新入生:入学料免除ページの「申請要領1-2(高等教育の修学支援対象者用)」

How to apply
benefit scholarship
Those who wish to receive a reduction in admission fees and tuition fees under the new higher education support system must apply for a grant scholarship from the Japan Student Services Organization. Please apply according to the recruitment guidelines.
Students from large families who wish to be exempt from paying admission and tuition fees should also apply for a grant scholarship.
Admission and tuition fee exemption (new students)
Please submit Form A1 when submitting your enrollment documents.
Students who submit Form A1 will receive a reduction or exemption from admission fees and tuition fees in accordance with their grant scholarship support category.
Please refer to the Tuition Fee Exemption/Application Guidelines page for details on how to apply for an exemption.
*Transfer students and other students who used the new higher education support system at their previous school must have their previous school submit Form A-10 to our university. Please inform your previous school that you will be transferring to our university and ask them to submit the document.
Send Form A10 to: Student Affairs Section, Educational Affairs Office (gaksien1@cc.tuat.ac.jp)
Submission deadline: During the month of enrollment
Tuition fee exemption (current students)
Students who have been accepted as grant scholarship students and have been made eligible for the new academic support system by submitting Form A1 will be considered to have the intention to continue receiving tuition fee reductions under the new academic support system if they submit the grant scholarship enrollment report (April and October) without any delay. No other procedures are required to continue receiving tuition fee reductions under the new academic support system.
To reiterate, the amount of tuition exemption is linked to the status of grant scholarship payments, so if your certification as a grant scholarship recipient is revoked or payments are suspended, you will not be eligible for tuition and admission fee reductions.
