Provided by Japanese National Universities
Japanese national universities offer tuition waivers of 25%, 50%, or 100% to students with financial need or strong academics. Since national university tuition is already low (~¥535,800/year), a full exemption makes your education nearly free.
For students with financial need or outstanding academic performance. Apply directly to your national university each semester.
For any student at a Japanese national university who can demonstrate financial need or excellent grades. The catch: you must apply each semester, and approval isn't guaranteed—it depends on budget and your situation.
