High School Tuition Support Fund: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn if your family qualifies for tuition support for public or private high schools in Japan and what the fund covers.

This fund provides financial assistance to help families manage the costs of high school education.

Who it's for

This support is available to families with children attending high school if your annual household income is below a certain threshold (approximately ¥9.1 million).

What you get

The fund helps cover either the full or partial cost of tuition fees. This applies to students attending both public and private high schools.

What it costs you

There is no direct monetary cost to apply, but you must complete an application every year through your child's school administration.

The catch to know

It is important to remember that this fund only applies to tuition. It does not cover entrance fees or the cost of school supplies.

How to apply

  1. Check your household income to ensure you meet the eligibility requirements.
  2. Contact your child's school administration to get the necessary application details.
  3. Submit your application through the school each year.
