- Selection required; 15 students a year
Chiyoda City's own grant-type scholarship. It is given to 15 students a year, selected from students living in the city who plan to go on to university, junior college, a vocational school or similar.
The amount is the actual cost of tuition and similar, up to ¥800,000 a year (¥400,000 each for the first and second semesters). In addition, the actual enrollment fee up to ¥200,000 is paid once at enrollment. No repayment is needed, so unlike loan-type scholarships that leave repayments after graduation, it leaves no burden on the household budget.
Applications for FY2026 (for students planning to enter in April 2027) were accepted from May 5 to July 6, 2026, and have closed. Check the city's official page for next year's guidelines.
