One time at entry only
The city gives a scholarship that does not need to be repaid to students for whom entering or studying at high school or similar is difficult for financial reasons. It is a one-time amount at entry: ¥60,000 for national or public schools and ¥100,000 for private schools.
The conditions are: living with a parent who has an address in the city; the parent is eligible for Bunkyo City school expense assistance (excluding households receiving public assistance); entry to high school or similar has been confirmed; and the student is not receiving another grant-type scholarship. The FY2026 (April 2026–March 2027) application deadline was March 31, 2026. Check the city's announcements for next year's schedule.
Nationality and residence status
The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.
Who is eligible
Students about to enter high school or similar who live with a parent living in the city and eligible for the city's school expense assistance (excluding households receiving public assistance)
