We will be holding information sessions for those applying for the first time for Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) scholarships [Grant-type Scholarships, Loan-type Scholarships (Type 1 and Type 2)] in the 2026 academic year. If you wish to apply, please check the session schedule listed below and attend the session.
Please note that information sessions will be held separately by campus and by scholarship type (grant or loan). Please carefully review the notes below and attend the information session for the scholarship type you are interested in.
[Important Notes]
・This information session is intended for students applying for scholarships for the 2026 academic year. Current students who have already been awarded a Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) scholarship, as well as incoming students who have been provisionally selected as JASSO scholarship candidates, do not need to attend. (However, those who have already been awarded a scholarship but wish to change or add a scholarship type should attend.)
・朝倉キャンパスでは、混雑緩和のため学部生対象の説明会は学部別に実施しますが、他のオリエンテーション等と日程が重複するなどして自分の学部の対象日に出席できない場合は、希望する奨学金種別の他の学部の対象日に出席してもかまいません。どうしても都合がつかず、自分の希望する奨学金種別の説明会に出席できなかった方は、下記奨学金担当窓口で申請書類を配布します。申請手続きには時間がかかりますので、下記申請期限に間に合うよう早めに取りに来てください。
・Starting in the 2025 academic year, the scope of the new higher education support system has been expanded, and students from large families can now have their tuition and other fees waived by applying for the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) Grant-in-Aid Scholarship.If you have not yet applied, please attend the grant scholarship information session to complete the application process. (Current students who have already been selected as grant scholarship recipients, and new students who have been designated as candidates for the grant scholarship through the Japan Student Services Organization’s (JASSO) 2026 academic year pre-selection process conducted at their high schools or other institutions do not need to attend the information session.)

[Regarding the Advance Verification of Resident Tax Information]
Resident tax information for both the applicant and all financial supporters will be used to determine scholarship eligibility and award amounts.
You can verify your resident tax information using the tax and income data available under "My Information" on Myna Portal, or by referring to a "Tax Certificate" or "Non-Taxable Certificate" issued by your municipality.
If you fail to report certain items during your year-end tax adjustment or annual tax return, your scholarship amount may be reduced or your application may be rejected. Therefore, please check in advance to ensure that you have not omitted any deductions (such as the spouse deduction, dependent deduction, single-parent deduction, or working student deduction). If you discover any omissions, please contact your local tax office immediately.
