Scholarship for Current Students

Every year Temple University, Japan Campus (TUJ) offers a variety of scholarships to qualified undergraduate students. Scholarship recipients will receive partial tuition remission for the relevant semester. TUJ awards some scholarships to those students demonstrating both merit and need. Priority will be given to applicants who are not recipients of other scholarships, stipends, or grants that cover a substantial portion of tuition and fees. No student will be given a TUJ scholarship which would result in an award or payment in excess of 100% of tuition charges or fees (not including housing). If, subsequent to an award of a TUJ scholarship but prior to payment, other scholarships, stipends, or grants are offered to a student the amount of the TUJ scholarship will be reduced accordingly.

To be eligible for an Undergraduate Scholarship, students must:

  • be currently registered as a full-time;
  • be matriculated undergraduate TUJ student, and;
  • have completed at least 12 credit hours of academic work at TUJ.

Students in their final semester, on Leave of Absence, or registered as part-time students due to financial reasons may also be considered in exceptional circumstances. Students in their first semester at TUJ will not be eligible to apply.

Students must submit:

  1. a completed Scholarship Application form,
