a. We will waive the full amount of the enrollment and tuition fees for the 2025 academic year for students enrolling in the Moder Japanese Studies Program in April 2025.

b. In the second year of the Bachelor’s degree in the Modern Japanese Studies and thereafter, all or half of the tuition fees will be waived for selected students based on academic performance. (Waivers will not be available to all students.)

(2) Even in cases when a student does not receive a scholarship from the Modern Japanese Studies Program Scholarship Program, that student may apply for a full, half, or quarter tuition waiver if they are facing hardship in paying their tuition for financial reasons and have demonstrated outstanding academic performance.
