Ø Scholarship: HU is planning to offer scholarship of 80,000 yen up to 4 candidates per each consortium university for those who need to complete PARE Short Program (1 credit of Introduction to PARE IV + PARE Summer School (PARE Field Work Training I + PARE Seminar I )). Amount of scholarship has been increased by 10,000 yen as duration of stay has been extended for 5 days.
Ø Air ticket WILL NOT be provided
Ø Dormitory can be secured for those who applied through HSI website at lower cost (depending on availability, however, it costs normally around 1,000 yen/day + utilities, so if one stays over 3 weeks for the program, room charge can be estimated around 30,000 yen or so. Transportation cost to campus (normally around 700 yen round trip/day), food and shopping costs would need to be added. *Kindly note that this estimation is subject to change). Please ask Summer School 2019 participants from your university for more detail about cost.
