Special Notice:
School fees are subject to change depending on changes in tuition and facility fees. Each year, various factors will be taken into consideration including the annual raise increase given to government officials recommended by the National Personnel Authority, the consumer price index, and the financial circumstances of Asia University.

In Japan, scholarships are awarded based on university recommendation. Organizations rarely accept personal applications and instead depend on universities to recommend the most deserving candidates. Therefore, universities keep extensive student records and are continuously searching for new scholarship opportunities. Currently, scholarships are available from three main sources: the Asia University Educational Incorporative, the Japanese government, and private organizations and foundations. Grades and the students' financial situation are among the main criteria considered during screening. For detailed information, students can inquire at the Office of International Affairs once formally enrolled in classes.
