The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has announced the points of discussion so far toward the creation of benefit-type scholarships.In addition to setting a grade standard for payment, the policy is to target school recommendations, and it is desirable to target households with low income.The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology intends to complete the design of the benefit-type scholarship system by the end of the year after making adjustments within the government, and to implement it from FY2017.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is forming a working team to consider payment standards, benefits, financial resources, etc. for the creation of benefit-type scholarships for university students that do not require repayment.In the discussion so far, it is important to be able to predict whether or not he / she is eligible for payment before enrollment, and he has shown the idea that deciding candidates for employment while in high school is the basis.
The payment standard should be targeted at households with low incomes, such as welfare households, households exempt from residence tax, and those from orphanages, who are likely to have to give up going to school.In the payment, the standard of grades was set, and if excellent results were achieved even if the standard was not met, it was relieved by school recommendation.However, I do not think that stricter standards should be set than necessary.Regarding the amount of benefits, we will consider making a difference between national and public universities and private universities, whether they go to school at home or while living away from their parents.
At the time of payment, the direction is to adopt a mechanism to check the academic status after going on to school.We are considering a method to confirm the payment after confirming the academic situation and a method to confirm the payment in the current year and decide whether to continue the next year based on the academic performance of the current year.
