According to a survey by the Japan Association of Private Universities, the number of students who received on-campus benefit-type scholarships at private universities nationwide in 2020 has increased significantly. In 2020, the Korona-ka began, and the number of students suffering from sudden changes in the parents' household budget and the inability to work part-time increased rapidly, and it seems that such a situation was reflected in the results.
The survey was conducted from December 2021 to January 12, targeting 2022 member schools nationwide by the Japan Association of Private Universities, and the amount of on-campus scholarships and the number of people provided were tabulated.
According to the report, the number of benefit-type on-campus scholarships in 2020 will be 14 undergraduate students and 6,726 graduate students.Compared to the previous year, the number of undergraduate students increased by 2% and that of graduate students increased by 1,469%.Even when compared in the last five years, it was the overwhelming top.
The total benefits are 302 yen for undergraduate students and 884 million yen for graduate students.Compared to the previous year, the number of undergraduate students decreased by 69%, but the number of graduate students increased by 7,950%. The amount of benefits per person is 0.7 yen for undergraduate students and 1.6 yen for graduate students, which is 1% less for undergraduate students and 20% less for graduate students than the previous year.
Of these, the largest increase was in economic support and benefits in the name of sudden changes in household finances. Although the total amount of financial support was flat, the number of benefits increased 2.4 times.In the sudden change in household budget, the total amount of benefits has increased 3.9 times and the number of benefits has increased 6.1 times.
It seems that each private university was trying to save the students who were in trouble by providing wide and shallow scholarships because the Korona-ka hit the students' lives and caused serious damage.
Regarding the benefits in the name of dispatched international students, which have been increasing in recent years, the amount of payment has decreased by about 22 billion yen (about 86%) from the previous time, and the number of employees has also decreased by about 85%.
* Due to the suspension of Nihon University (about 6 undergraduate students and about 8,000 graduate students), the data obtained by excluding the figures from Nihon University from the previous year's data are used.
