Universities (including graduate schools; the same applies hereinafter), junior colleges, colleges of technology, high schools (including the second half of secondary schools and high schools for special needs; the same applies hereinafter), specialized training colleges, miscellaneous schools, local public organizations, and organizations implementing scholarship projects, etc. As the purpose of this survey was to understand the actual state of scholarship programs implemented by entities other than the national government, scholarships implemented by the Japan Student Services Organization were treated as reference values. In addition, the high school enrollment support program, scholarship funds for high school students, and high school part-time and correspondence course study incentives were also excluded as these were implemented by the national government. |
