In principle, the emergency student support handout requires that students be financially independent from their families and covering school expenses using income from their own part-time jobs; that the student's income has been reduced due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; and that students are struggling to pay school fees even when taking advantage of existing support systems. Specifically, students must fulfill the five following conditions:

1. The student is living independent of their family
   (Students who are living at home but are financially independent and providing for themselves are also eligible.)
   *This information will be checked against your current address and the address of your guarantor as reported to the university. For those who have not updated your living address, please do so immediately.
2. The student is not receiving a large amount of financial aid from their family (Less than 1.5 million yen per year including tuition fees but not including admission fees.)
3. The student cannot expect additional financial support from their family (parent, legal guardian, etc.) due to a reduction in the family's income or similar reason.
4. The student, in order to be able to pay academic fees and expenses, is forced to work a part-time job but, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is unable to earn the necessary income from work.
5. The student has received to existing financial aid programs (New Study Support System for Higher Education, Category-1 JASSO scholarship loans (limited use), internal scholarships, private sector funded support systems, Honors Scholarships for Privately-Financed International Students, etc.)
