Please see the Tuition Support Information page for further details.

Yes, you can. It is more likely that you will be accepted if you apply for the "reserved scholarship system" while you are still in high school, but you can also apply after you enroll.

Although it depends on the scholarship system, we recommend that you apply in the spring of your third year of high school, when there are more available positions available.
Depending on the year, we may hire in the fall, but the number of positions available is limited.

If you have already made a reservation at your high school, the procedure will be completed after you enroll, so please keep all documents you have in a safe place until April.

There are three types of scholarships that high school students can apply for.
There are three types of scholarships: "AO Scholarship" which is open only to AO entrants, "Sanko Gakuen Scholarship" which involves a written test and an interview, and "Challenge Scholarship".
In addition to the interview, Sanko scholarship students and Challenge scholarship students will be required to take a written test in which they select one of the following: Japanese language education (Japanese language and general education) and a self-promotional essay (approximately 600 characters).
In addition, there is "High school graduates and working adults scholarship admission" exclusively for those who are returning to school, and "International student tuition reduction admission" exclusively for international students.

The evaluation will include an interview. Please contact the school for more information.

There is no need to retake the exam.
If you are not accepted as a scholarship student, you can enroll as a recommended student with priority.
In this case, there will be no additional application fee and you will not need to submit any additional documents.

It depends on the subject, but it is mainly at high school entrance exam level. Please contact our school for more information.

Those who are judged to meet certain standards as scholarship students of our school will be exempted from tuition fees of up to 1 million yen for two years depending on the type of scholarship. If you fail the scholarship exam, you can be reselected or given priority admission in other admission categories, so in that case, there will be no additional selection fee.

Please feel free to contact us for more details. We will also explain at our "Open Campus" events.

Category 1 scholarships are interest-free loans given to outstanding students who are experiencing extreme financial difficulties in continuing their studies.
Category 2 scholarships are loans with interest that are awarded to students selected based on more lenient criteria than Category 1 scholarships.
Grant-type scholarships are awarded to people who meet certain family structure and household income criteria.

You can apply for loan-type scholarships either before or after enrollment. However, there is a limit to the number of students who can apply after enrollment, so we recommend that you apply for a "reservation" scholarship (application before enrollment) offered by your high school.

Reserved acceptance is a system in which you reserve a scholarship before enrolling. Please apply at the scholarship office of the school you are currently attending (or were attending) in the year before you plan to proceed to higher education. You can apply even if you have not yet decided where you will go to higher education.

For information about grant-type scholarships, please check with the high school you are attending (or were attending).

Tuition fees + facility fees + practical training fees can be paid during the period of enrollment after applying for the "grant scholarship" and "tuition fee reduction" systems. *The 100,000 yen enrollment fee paid at the time of admission will be transferred to part of the tuition fees after the tuition fee reduction amount is determined.

For more information, please see Sanko Gakuen Grant Scholarship & Tuition Payment System page.

The general rule is to make a lump sum payment, but it is possible to make two installments, one for the first half and one for the second half.

You can also make installment payments using the Sanko Gakuen Tuition Support System. This system is only available to a limited number of people, so please see the Entrance Exams and Tuition page for more information.

You can enroll if you take out a national educational loan, Sanko Gakuen affiliated educational loan, or a loan from a variety of banks, and prepare the first year's payment.

Loan screening takes time, so if you are interested, please apply as soon as possible. There are also loans that can be used together with scholarships from the Japan Student Services Organization.

For more information, please contact the relevant loan contact points.

We will begin accepting applications and will close them once we reach capacity.
