Frequent questions

Q1 When can I receive the tuition support funds after submitting the application documents?
The tuition support funding is indirectly given to students and guardians. The funds that is given to theschool is directly appropriated for the tuition.
Approved students and guardians do not need to pay the tuition.
Q2 If the application documents are filed after the submission due date, is it possible to be granted of thesupport fund for the period before the delayed submission date?
Since the tuition support fund shall be granted for the period after the date of application filed to your school,
it is not possible to receive the fund date back the application. So, if you wish to be granted of the fund, you
are requested to submit the application documents promptly by the due date designated by your school.

Q3 Both parents have parental authority, but the child is supported by the grandfather. Is it sufficient tosubmit only the documents confirming the grandfather’s income?
Please submit the documents confirming the parents’ income because we carry out examination based on
the municipal tax per-income levy amount of the guardians.
Q4 Currently, I have not received the tuition support funding.There was a change to my household income
situations due to my parents’ divorce. Will I be provided with the funding?
In cases where the child has just one guardian due to the finalization of the parents’ divorce, please submit
the document confirming the guardian’s income. If you submit required documents during the month of thefinalization of the parents’ divorce, and if the documents meet requirements, the child will be provided withthe funds from the next month of the finalization of divorce.
Q5 I have received the tuition support funds. The number of my guardians, however, increased due toadoption or some other reasons. What procedure should I follow?
In cases where the number of guardians increased, we need to examine the income situation based on thenew household composition. Please report it to your school with documents that confirm the newguardian’s income.
Q6 In such case that one of my parents is applied for tax exemption for spouse, is it acceptable or not towaive the submission of Tax Declaration Certificate of the spouse who is subject to the tax exemption? If yes,
is it in what case?
In such cases, the municipal tax per-income levy amount of a person who is subject to the tax exemption will
be about 3,000 yen at a maximum. Please compare the following two marginal cases for your consideration:
Case 1 Father: municipal tax per-income levy amount is ¥301,000 and tax exemption for spouse is applied;
Since the total amount of municipal tax per-income levy of both of parents is calculated at ¥304,000 at amaximum, that means less than the minimum standard of authorization calculated at ¥304,200, it is enough tosubmit only father’s Tax Declaration Certificate and other relevant documents.
Case 2 Father: municipal tax per-income levy amount is ¥302,000 and tax exemption for spouse is applied;
Since the total of municipal tax per-income levy amount of both of parents is calculated at ¥305,000 at amaximum that is over the minimum standard of authorization of ¥304,200, it is required to submit TaxDeclaration Certificates and other relevant documents of both of the parents.
※In such case that no claiming is made for tax exemption for spouse, including a case that claiming is made only for special tax
exemption for spouse, the tax certificates of both of the parents are required to be submitted, regardless of value of municipal tax
per-income levy amount.

For enquiries about how to fill in the application form, required documents and the Tuition■Treatment of personal information
The personal information of students, guardians, etc. collected by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Boardof Education will be appropriately managed in accordance with laws and regulations.
