(1) Purpose of Scholarships
We offer financial assistance to students who are facing financial hardship that may make it difficult to continue their studies, even though they have a high academic performance. We provide partial donations or loans for the tuition fees to those students. Our goal is to help these students devote more time to their studies and enjoy their university life without worrying about financial constraints.
(2) Applying for Scholarships
Each scholarship has its own criteria for application and selection, and the numbers of recipients are limited, so there may be cases in which students are not accepted, despite meeting all the criteria. Before applying for a scholarship, please consider your living conditions carefully, discuss it thoroughly with your family and think carefully about which scholarship to apply for.
(3) Application Preparation
Scholarships must be applied for by the student him/herself, and the grant or loan will be awarded to the student him/herself too. Students must consider their financial situation before applying, and must prepare all necessary documents. Students may be asked detailed questions about their financial circumstances at the interview, so please talk to your family beforehand so that you can provide accurate information.
(4) If Your Family's Financial Situation Suddenly Changes
If the main earner in your family loses his/her job or passes away, or if a disaster or some other circumstance causes a sudden change in your family's finances, which makes it extremely difficult to continue your studies, you can ask us for help at any time.
(5) Selection Criteria
With the exception of Sophia University Academic Excellence Awards and some Sophia University Benefactors' Scholarships, the criteria for selection are financial hardship and good academic performance, with a particular focus on financial hardship. In terms of the level of financial hardship, students are unlikely to be selected for the Sophia Tuition Support Scholarships if their family's annual income exceeds ¥7 million or if their family has business income exceeding ¥4 million (It depends on each family's situation). In terms of academic performance, students whose grades do not meet a certain standard may not be selected regardless of the level of financial hardship. We hope that Sophia University's scholarships will lead to an improvement in recipients' grades. Tuition Payment Schedule and Outline of Scholarship Program 1. Tuition Payment Deadlines 2.
