5. HOW DO I GET FINANCIAL AID ?

Prospective OUSSEP students are eligible to apply for the following scholarship offered by the Association of International Education, Japan (AIEJ). All the students admitted to OUSSEP in the previous academic years were granted scholarships, but we cannot guarantee that all the students get AIEJ scholarships. We do not preclude students without an AIEJ scholarship from coming to OUSSEP. The total number of students OUSSEP can admit, however, will remain at around 25 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.

AIEJ Short-term Student Exchange Promotion Program (Inbound) Scholarship

Qualified students selected by AIEJ are provided with the following financial aid.

  1. A monthly stipend of 80,000 yen
    OUSSEP students will usually receive the stipend for twelve months, September through August.
  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. Settling-in allowance of 25,000 yen
* AIEJ will not cover any tax included in the airfare and payable to the government of a foreign country. The students will be asked to pay that amount, if any, after they arrive at Osaka.

Tuition Waiver

The tuition fee for the OUSSEP courses is currently 13,300 yen 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.
