The Ashinaga Scholarship is supported by "Ashinaga Student Donations" every spring and autumn and donations from all over the country.However, due to the influence of the new corona, the 2020th student fundraising scheduled for spring 100 has been canceled, and there are concerns that the financial resources will decrease significantly.In such a difficult situation, he decided to provide emergency assistance "to survive the present" even if the reserve fund for stable scholarship is withdrawn.
The emergency lump sum will be provided to approximately 6,500 scholarship students (high school, vocational school, junior college, university, graduate school).Of these, remittances will be made by the end of April to approximately 2 second-year students and above who have registered deposit accounts.Approximately 5,000 first-year students who are in the process of registering a deposit account will be remitted promptly as soon as the work is completed.In addition, this support is only for current scholarship students, and is not applicable when applying from now on.

From the 281 responses received from all over the country, there were urgent voices such as "The income is halved and I cannot pay the tuition fees for April" and "I have no choice but to live on the street because I do not have enough food and utilities". rice field.In most cases, the employment of mothers of orphans is unstable, such as part-time jobs and contract employees, and even a decrease in sales of tens of thousands of yen will hurt their lives.Even if they are regular employees, many people have high-risk jobs such as nursing, long-term care, eating and drinking, and hospitality, and ask, "If I get infected, how will my child live alone?" He says he is constantly exposed to anxiety at home and at work.
