12. About High School Enrollment Support Fund

National support system to reduce the tuition burden

What is the High School Enrollment Support Fund?

To create a society where students attending high school can receive education according to their wishes regardless of their family's economic situation, the High School Enrollment Support Fund is provided to cover tuition for students attending high schools, supporting families' education expenses. There are nationality, residence status, and other requirements to receive the High School Enrollment Support Fund. Even those who are not eligible for the High School Enrollment Support Fund may be eligible for the new High School Student Tuition Support Grant.

No Repayment Required

This is not a loan-type scholarship, so repayment is not required.

For public high schools, if you qualify to receive the enrollment support fund, tuition payment is not required.
To use this system, procedures are required. Your high school will provide an explanation and distribute the notification.
