In preparation for the Fall 2021 academic year, the International University of Japan located in Niigata Prefecture, announced that it will host online information sessions and offer tuition scholarships to prospective applicants.

The online information sessions will be offered by the IUJ alumni around the world, who are collaborating with the campus to act as “ambassadors” that provide information about the university’s master degree programs and campus life through sharing their experiences first-hand.

With 2020 presenting many families with financial challenges, IUJ has initiated a “Voucher” scholarship system that allows their alumni to share vouchers with people within their network.

The vouchers grant new students that are friends with alumni members a guaranteed scholarship that covers 50 percent of their tuition, and immediate family members a 70 percent reduction in tuition, upon their acceptance into one of the IUJ degree programs.
