※ For currently enrolled students, the 1st-round application is the general rule, and the relief application may be used up to two times during enrollment.

※ Students who do not apply for the National Scholarship will not be eligible for the Disaster Scholarship in the 2026-2 semester. Students from households affected by a disaster must therefore apply for the National Scholarship.

※ Since the 2024 academic year, the annual amount and eligibility for National Scholarship support have been expanded. Eligible students are strongly encouraged to apply and check their opportunities for financial aid.

※ Due to heavy traffic on the website on the application deadline, applicants are advised to submit their applications well in advance to avoid difficulties.
