To support the further education of children in single-parent households receiving the Child Rearing Allowance and similar, the city subsidizes entrance exam fees for universities and similar, and practice exam fees. The limits are ¥53,000 for university entrance exam fees, ¥8,000 for university practice exams, and ¥6,000 for high school practice exams (grade 3 of junior high school). Households exempt from resident tax (including households on public assistance) are also eligible.
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
Parents or guardians in single-parent households with an address in Tama City at the time of application who receive the Child Rearing Allowance (or have an equivalent income level), or households exempt from resident tax
Notes
Universities, etc. means universities, junior colleges, specialized training colleges (professional courses) and colleges of technology (4th year). University entrance exam fees and practice exams are for people under 20 as of April 1, 2026. Bank transfer fees are not covered. For combining with the Exam Challenge Support Loan program, see the page.
