●Scholarships
○Scholarship programs
　The scholarships handled by Kanazawa University comprise ones from the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) and ones from various other organizations (local authorities, private-sector organizations, etc.).
　There are loan-type scholarships (which need to be repaid) and grant-type scholarships (which don’t need to be repaid), but in either case, you will normally need to meet certain requirements, such as having an excellent academic record and difficulty with funding your studies.
○Information provision
　Information about scholarships is generally provided through Acanthus portal notifications and on the website. If you would like to apply for a scholarship or are already receiving one, please periodically check notifications from the Acanthus portal and the website.
○Important points
　If you decide to use a loan-type scholarship, you need to realize that you will have to pay it back in the future, and be careful not to borrow too much.
　Note that with both loan-type and grant-type scholarships, if your academic performance slumps or you forget to complete any of the required procedures, your scholarship will be cancelled (meaning that you lose your status as a scholarship student) or suspended, even if you are in great financial difficulty.
　And if you take a leave of absence from the university or go and study abroad, you will generally have to discontinue your scholarship (though continuation is sometimes allowed if you are studying abroad), so please seek advice from the person in charge.

　●New study support system
　The new study support system for higher education is a national financial aid system that combines JASSO scholarship and reduction or exemption of admission fees and tuitions by universities. Those eligible are students from households exempt from residence tax or students from equivalent households, and from middleclass households with multiple children (Japanese citizens, legal special permanent residents, other permanent residents etc., and long-term residents who are deemed to wish to remain in Japan permanently).
　Applications are accepted twice a year in April and October (or at any time in case of sudden change in household finance). If you apply for the new study support system and have become eligible for support, your admission and tuition fees will be reduced/waived in accordance with your support category (Category I: full waiver, Category II: two-thirds reduction, Category III: one-third reduction, Category IV: a quarter reduction) which is based on the income of your household. You will also receive a grant in accordance with your support category.

　●Kanazawa University unique scholarship system
　In order to enrich students’ expertise and future prospects, we encourage students to advance to graduate schools. Also to contribute to their diverse and systematic career development, the university has established the Kanazawa University unique scholarship system based on three axes: the framework for producing doctoral personnel, the framework for the university’s own educational organization, and the framework for enhancing human resource development and systems. The system is aimed at providing generous financial support, especially for doctoral courses. You are recommended to be aware of the possibility of advancing to graduate school from the early stages of your bachelor’s course.

●Support for student housing
　Kanazawa University has student dormitories (SAKIGAKE and HOKUMEI) for Japanese and international students.
　The student dormitories are shared house-style dormitories where international students and Japanese students live in a single unit (separate for men and women) for the purpose of promoting international exchange and developing global human resources. In addition to being equipped with basic furniture and appliances necessary for daily life, the dormitories are located on the Kakuma campus, which is very convenient for commuting to school.
