Students matriculating under tuition-waiver student-exchange agreements will not be required to pay tuition or fees (including the application fee.). Tuition and fees are non-refundable.

Accommodation Charges

Estimated Personal Expenses
JLI Program (CJPN & JLJSP) participants are strongly urged to bring adequate funds to cover their personal expenses in Japan. Although personal expenses vary from individual to individual, approximately 80,000 to 100,000 per month (including accommodation charges) should be adequate.

Scholarships
1. NUFS Exchange Student Scholarships
NUFS will make scholarships available to outstanding exchange students from universities/ colleges with which NUFS has a student exchange agreement. The scholarship offers will be made through the contact persons at the partner institutions.

2. Japan Association of Student Services Organization (JASSO) Scholarships
JASSO awards several scholarships each year to JLI students.  These scholarships includes a settling-in allowance of 80,000 yen, and a monthly stipend of 80,000 yen (for living expenses, etc.).  To be eligible, an applicant must plan to participate in an authorized exchange program for one academic year.  After JASSO has granted a certain number of scholarships to NUFS, NUFS then passes them on to our partner institutions for student nomination.  JASSO scholarships fall into two broad categories:

1) General Scholarships: There is no restriction as to whether            a student must be enrolled in either the CJPN or the JLJSP                  for this type of scholarship.

2) Short Program (English-taught): As the Japanese government fosters international exchanges, they grant funds in the form of scholarships to higher educational institutions that have programs including English-taught courses.  For this background, a number of scholarships are provided to NUFS in this category.  Therefore,  recipients of this scholarship must be enrolled in the CJPN                  for at least their first semester.
