FINANCIAL AID

Several scholarships are available through IUJ for highly qualified non-sponsored students.  IUJ selects scholarship candidates from the pool of successful applicants.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to seek alternative sources of funding by themselves instead of relying solely upon the possibility of obtaining a scholarship or other financial assistance through IUJ.
Financial planning is especially important for non-Japanese applicants in obtaining a visa or certificate of eligibility, they will be required to prove to the consular officer and the Japanese Ministry of Justice that they have sufficient funds to cover expenses for study in Japan, such as the university's tuition and fees and living expenses (housing, food, clothing, etc.)

For Japanese Applicants:
IUJ offers scholarships and a loan program for Japanese applicants. Those who would like to apply for this financial aid should fill out the "Scholarship Application for Japanese Applicants" and enclose it in your application package with all other admission application documents.
For more details, please refer to the IUJ Scholarship Guidelines for Japanese applicants.

For Non-Japanese Applicants:
IUJ grants S. Nakayama Memorial scholarships to qualified non-Japanese applicants. All non-sponsored applicants are eligible to apply for this scholarship. Non-Japanese applicants can also apply for scholarship programs provided by outside organizations such as ADB (Asian Development Bank), MIF (The Matsushita International Foundation), AEON (AEON 1% Club), JT (Japan Tobacco Inc.) and NIA (Niigata International Association), if they qualify for such scholarship programs. To be considered for the above mentioned scholarships, a completed Application For IUJ Scholarship for Non-Japanese Applicants should be enclosed in your application package with all other admission application documents. If you are an online application user, please apply for the scholarship online by filling out the "Scholarship" section.
For more details, please refer to the IUJ Scholarship Guidelines for Non-Japanese Applicants.


NOTES:
- Application for scholarship does not affect IUJ's consideration of a student's application for admission.
- If you do not submit a scholarship application, you will not be considered for a scholarship.
- Deadlines for scholarship applications are the same as admission application deadlines.
- There are no chances to apply for financial aid to cover tuition after entering IUJ. Although students can apply for some scholarships after enrollment, those scholarships cover only partial living expenses and the selection process is very competitive.
