Tokyo Tech will take special measures concerning tuition exemption ( special exemption ) for undergraduate students, to reduce adverse consequences resulting from implementation of the Japanese government s financial support system for higher education ( new support system ) commencing in April 2020. Students eligible for special exemption are those who entered a bachelor s program in or before AY 2019.
Outline
While the government s new support system is expected to enhance undergraduate education, there may be cases where financial support for current students will be reduced due to major changes.
For example: Tuition deduction will be one-third, two-thirds, or 100% (currently 50% or 100% of tuition). Maximum household income of applicants for tuition exemption will be drastically lowered.
