Prospective OUSSEP students are eligible to apply for the following scholarship offered by the Association of International Education, Japan (AIEJ). However, those who receive financial aid from other sources, worth 80,000 JPY or more, are not eligible to apply for the scholarship from AIEJ. A high proportion of the students admitted to OUSSEP in previous academic years were granted the scholarships. Note, that in these days, the AIEJ scholarship has become quite tight, therefore this year AIEJ may not offer a sufficient number of scholarships for OUSSEP participants. We naturally welcome students who are prepared to come to OUSSEP without applying for the AIEJ scholarship. The total number of students OUSSEP can admit, however, will remain at around 30 regardless of the number of students to whom AIEJ grants scholarships.
We request applicants to refrain from applying for AIEJ scholarships concurrently with other Japanese universities.
Qualified students selected by AIEJ are provided with the following financial aid.
| 1. | A monthly stipend of 80,000 JPY OUSSEP students will receive the stipend for the months they spend in Japan. |
| 2. | An economy class single journey air ticket* when coming to and leaving Japan (between the international airports nearest to the home and host universities) |
| 3. | A settling-in allowance of 25,000 JPY |
* AIEJ will not cover any airport tax.
The tuition fee for the OUSSEP courses is currently 14,400 JPY per credit. The fee is liable to change without notice. Students from institutions that have concluded a mutual tuition waiver contract with Osaka University will be granted a tuition waiver.
