Tokyo Institute of Technology has established its own benefit-type scholarship, "Tokyo Institute of Technology Tsubame Doctoral Student Scholarship," for excellent doctoral students with motivation and ability, and will start providing benefits in April. With the increase in tuition fees for bachelor's degree enrollees from April and graduate school enrollees from September, the university's own income such as industry-academia collaboration and donations will be used as financial resources to provide relief measures.
According to the Tokyo Institute of Technology, all students who enrolled in the doctoral program after April 2018 and entered the doctoral program will continue to receive the payment until the standard period of study.This does not apply to Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Research Fellow, government-sponsored foreign students, foreign government-sponsored students, students who have a regular job as a member of society, and students who have exceeded the standard period of study.
1年目は対象者全員に一般奨学金として年額48万円、2年目以降は対象奨学生の約20％に当たる特に優秀な学生に対し、授業料相当額の特別奨学金年額約63万5,000円を給付する。2018年4月入学の学生は2019年度で2年目となるが、制度転換期の対応として一般奨学金対象者とする。
Based on past achievements, it is expected that about half of the doctoral students enrolled in the doctoral program will be eligible for the benefits.Until now, Tokyo Institute of Technology has used both teaching assistant and research assistant systems to provide financial support to doctoral students in the amount equivalent to the tuition fee, but compared to both systems, more than 25% of the recipients are eligible. It is expected to increase.
