To support students who are financially struggling to continue on to high school or technical college, Maebashi City has decided to abolish loan-based scholarships and establish a non-repayable grant-based support system. Eligible recipients are students from households that reside in the city and meet certain conditions, with a lump sum of 200,000 yen to be paid in March. A proposal to repeal the ordinance will be submitted to the regular city council meeting in September, with applications for the new system scheduled to begin in November. The aim is to support expenses necessary for enrollment, such as uniforms and computers.
