Types of Scholarships in Japan - JSON

Japanese scholarship systems are broadly divided into two types: grant-type and loan-type. Grant-type scholarships are non-repayable grants, while loan-type scholarships require repayment after graduation. Loan-type scholarships are further divided into Type 1 (interest-free) and Type 2 (interest-bearing), each with income and academic requirements. These scholarships aim to support students facing economic difficulties and are operated in conjunction with the Higher Education Learning Support System.
