Exemption Amounts

- Tuition: Full, half, or one-quarter exemption available.
*Additionally, a deferment system for admission fees is available, allowing students to postpone payment until the end of September for those admitted in April.

2. Emergency Tuition Fee Exemption
This system provides an emergency exemption of tuition fees to students whose household finances have a sudden financial situation change due to the impact of COVID-19. The exemption amount can be full, half, or one-fourth of the tuition fee.
