To ease the financial burden on self-financed students from abroad, whenever possible, HSU makes a practice of either reducing the tuition costs or exempting students with exceptional records from these charges altogether. There are three categories of tuition funding : (1) full tuition and facility fees, (2) full tuition fees, or (3) 50% of tuition fees. All incoming students are screened according to their Japanese language score in the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students. Admission of undergraduate students is based largely on their academic records.

HSU scholarships are offered annually covering the whole academic year. Students may re-apply for the following year. Re-applications are considered on the basis of the student’s academic record at HSU. This funding also applies to graduate students.
