The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's benefit-type scholarship system review team has published a summary of discussions so far regarding the design of benefit-type scholarship systems.The start of benefits will be implemented in earnest from those who go on to university in 30, and some economically difficult students should be implemented in advance from those who go on to university in 2018.
We aim to create a system that encourages students who have difficulty going on to higher education due to financial reasons and encourages their efforts to go on to higher education.Therefore, the idea of "scholarship" (need-based) and "scholarship" (merit-based) is adopted, and it is expected to bring about social benefits and will be implemented as a measure to realize investment in the future.
Target school types are universities, junior colleges, colleges of technology, and vocational schools.The household standard is households with low annual income and exempt from residence tax.It is estimated that the number of target university students is about 6.1.
Regarding academic ability and qualification standards, the whole is recommended by the school, and while showing the guideline of the grade standard, etc., the recommendation is based on the standard set by each school.It is considered from the viewpoint of high learning performance, excellent school activities, motivation and purpose for going on to higher education, and social care.
The monthly benefits are 2 yen for national and public home students, 3 yen for national and public / out-of-home and private / out-of-home students, and XNUMX yen for private / out-of-home students. In that case, the amount equivalent to the entrance fee will be paid.We are considering benefits after confirming the academic status, etc. with a sufficient scale of benefits and a qualification certification system.For publicity and public relations activities regarding the entire scholarship system, including benefit-type scholarships, we will implement the "Scholarship Advisor Project (tentative name)" in collaboration with financial planners, etc. It is said that it will be examined and reviewed.
