Research Fund


  1. Graduate School of Media and Governance Research Fund
    1. Budget
      The Graduate School of Media and Governance Research Fund (hereafter referred to as the "research fund") is assigned to Master Seminars and budgeted in accordance with the number of members belonging to respective Seminars. The calculation will be made based on the total number of the faculty members in charge of a Master Seminar/Independent Research and the master's and doctoral students enrolled in it. The number excludes: non-degree students, students studying abroad or on a temporary leave of absence, those who have yet to pay their academic fees for the semester concerned (including those who applied for tuition deferment; *those who do not pay their academic fees by the end of December will not be counted for this academic year), and faculty members studying abroad, on sabbatical, or on other leave (but those who have students registered for their Master Seminars will be counted).

      The budget for each fund will be calculated after students have registered for courses, and details will be provided to the faculty member in charge. Please share the details with the person in charge of accounting in your Seminar. The number of registered students will be reviewed after the course registration period for the Fall Semester ends, and the budget will be adjusted and finalized.
    2. Deadlines
      Application deadline: February 28, 2025
      Accepted period for invoices and receipts: April 1, 2024 - February 28, 2025
      *Each year, we receive a high volume of applications just before the deadline, resulting in payments taking longer than usual.
      We strongly urge you to apply for funding by the end of the academic year as this research fund is meant to be used for within that timeframe.
    3. How to apply and check remaining balance
      Please apply via the new accounting system (Dr.Budget; hereafter, "DB"). As students do not have permission to enter data into DB, they need to submit application forms, invoices, and receipts to the faculty member in charge.
      Your balance can be viewed on DB.
    4. Necessary documents and guidelines
