Emergency Student Support Handout

TMU will accept 2nd round of applications from our international students for Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO)’s Emergency Student Support Handout (for international students) for continuing studies. Anyone who wish to apply for it is asked to read the following instructions carefully and resume to application.

As a result of COVID-19 expansion, financial influences became obvious for some students due to significant loss in family and/or part-time income which is making it hard for them to carry on studying at the university.
Thus, we will accept applications from those who meet the set requirements for Emergency Student Support Handout.
Download the necessary application forms and documents from the government website or the link provided from us as follows, prepare for the documentation and apply to the section at TMU designated below.

※Please note that those who applied for the 1st application and have received the benefit cannot apply for the second time.
