Scholarships | |
|
Scholarships are intended to provide financial and moral support so that children who have the ability and desire to go on to higher learning will not give up their plans due to family circumstances or financial reasons. Money paid back by former scholarship recipients is placed in a trust to be lent to new students. Scholarships include the Japan Student Services Organization, the
Osaka Prefecture Scholarship Foundation, the Welfare Fund, Single Mother
Welfare Fund, etc. If you have any questions you may contact the scholarship information desks directly, or the Osaka City Health and Welfare Bureau or the Board of Education. |
