Financially support motivated students with a detailed scholarship system tailored to their needs

Chiba University of Commerce is 88 years old this year.Its predecessor was Sugamo Higher Commercial School, which was established in 1.Currently, we have XNUMX faculties and XNUMX departments on a hill in Ichikawa City, which is easily accessible from the city center, and many students are enrolled not only from the local Chiba prefecture and the metropolitan area, but also from all over the country.Since its founding, the emphasis has been on "practical science that is useful in society."While establishing a system that allows students to learn while practicing specialized knowledge that can be utilized immediately after they enter society, we have added two things, "evolution" that suits society and "support" for challenges. Under the "three promises from the university," the former focuses on active learning and international exchange, and the latter focuses on career education and regional alliances, achieving a high employment rate * XNUMX. As part of "Support", we have expanded the scholarship system, but in recent years we have been eager to develop a new support system in consideration of the harsh economic environment surrounding university admission.Mr. Kota Ito, Chief of the Public Relations Section, introduced us mainly on unique initiatives.

Monthly tuition payment system, single life support system

　Among the universities in Chiba prefecture and the metropolitan area, this university is traditionally famous as a university with low tuition fees * 2.For this reason, some students wish to go on to university because of the low tuition fees, so I have always been concerned about the financial burden on students.In recent years, there are many cases in which even if the student himself / herself wants to study at a university, he / she may not be able to go on to the desired university due to the financial circumstances of his / her family, or he / she gives up on going to university.The "Monthly Tuition Payment System" and the "Living Alone Support System" were born out of the desire to support even one student who wants to do their best.

　The "Monthly Tuition Payment System" means that tuition fees are paid twice a year (about 2 yen each time), but for students who find it difficult to pay them all at once, the tuition fees are divided monthly (about 1 yen). It is a system that can be delivered (46 yen).If you use this system, the tuition required at the time of admission will be the first two months (about 8 yen) excluding the admission fee, and you can reduce the burden.

　Next, the system that supports local students is the "Living Alone Support System".Students who come to Tokyo from rural areas are forced to bear a large financial burden, such as security deposits / key money for living alone, rent, and household goods, in addition to tuition fees.On the other hand, many of the students from rural areas of our university are traditionally highly motivated to study, so it is not possible for such students to give up going on to school due to financial reasons or to be overwhelmed by part-time jobs even after enrollment. I have always wanted to avoid it.Therefore, for students enrolling from rural areas, if you move into a student dormitory or student condominium affiliated with our university, we will subsidize the initial cost of moving in (17 yen) and the rent for the first year (22 yen per month). We have established a system to do so.For example, in the case of a property with an initial cost of 4 yen and a monthly rent of 5 yen, by using this support system, the initial cost of moving in will be 5 yen and the monthly rent will be 2 yen, which will be a significant burden. It will be reduced.There are also properties with furniture, home appliances, and meals, and there is no obligation to return them, so you can enroll with confidence.So far, there have been no cases of institutional students dropping out for financial reasons.
