For international students currently enrolled in university

Leave of Absence for Mandatory Military Service

In case that international students with a “Student” resident status take leave of absence for mandatory military service, the students are eligible to receive, as a scholarship, the equivalent amount of tuition fees during the period of absence at the time of return to the university by following necessary procedures.
Please refer to the below procedure.

*If you took a leave of absence due to hospitalization or outpatient treatment for an injury or illness sustained during military service, please obtain a medical certificate from the medical institution stating that the injury or illness was sustained during military service and specifying the duration of hospitalization or outpatient treatment before returning to Japan, as this will be required for your scholarship application.
