Note

This Student Handbook is designed to orient you to the IPBS academic and social

environment. It can be your guide to academic requirements, financial support,

and activities outside the classroom, giving you an overview of the options and the

resources available.

The IPBS is a 5-year combined Master’s and Doctorate program for Japanese

students. International students from our partner institutions will begin their

curriculum from the second of those five years. To avoid confusion, this Handbook

will refer to the first year as the first entering year of Graduate School of Medicine

and the IPBS, for the students from our partner institutions overseas.

FINANCES

Financial Support

I. IPBS Stipend

The program provides a generous stipend to eligible students in a monthly amount

of 200,000 yen, as of 2016. The stipend is currently funded by the Japan Society

for the Promotion of Science through the Grants for Creating Research and

Education Bases. This grant is scheduled to expire in March of 2018.

1. Stipend amount

The stipend amount is reviewed by the IPBS each year. The stipend was awarded

to eligible IPBS students in the amount of 200,000 yen in the year of 2016.

2. Eligibility There are other stipends that students cannot receive simultaneously with our

stipend. Please be careful in noting:

i. If you are a research fellow (a DC student) funded by the Japan Society for the

Promotion of Science, you are not eligible for our stipend.

ii. Both domestic and international students must decline our stipend if supported by

others including:

I) the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO)

II) the National Government of Japan (MEXT)

III) any foundations from foreign countries

IV) any foundations at Osaka University other than the IPBS, except when the

support is allocated directly to university entrance fees and tuitions.

iii. Should they wish to receive our stipend, students are not allowed to hold a

part-time/full-time job; however, holding a teaching assistant (TA) or a research

assistant (RA) position is permitted as long as the work hours do not exceed 5

hours per week. These positions are: • TA/RA essential in promoting education and research of IPBS • Clinical practice with an appropriate license at a university hospital, crucial

for student’s graduate research • Part-time lecturer position at a university, junior college, or vocational high

school • Non-routine position to support academic conferences related to student’s

research • TA at a high school including a Super Science High School (MEXT). • Any work positions approved by the Program Director for promoting education and

research of IPBS.

iv. Students may receive: scholarships/fellowship grants from public or private organizations revenue(s) via entrepreneurial activities

simultaneously with our stipend by adjusting the stipend amount based on regulations.

32

Students may receive other financial support including entrance fee waiver, tuition

waiver from Osaka University. For more information, contact the Student Center

(TEL 06-6879-7088, www.osaka-u.ac.jp/en/guide/student/center.html).

3. Recipient selection

We will review the stipend eligibility of a student each year. The committee will

conduct an impartial screening on the applications (for the first-year application,

see II., and for continuous stipend application, see III.). Recipients will be notified

in writing.

4. Public announcement of recipients

All recipient names will be made available to the public on

www.stn.osaka-u.ac.jp/english/feature/03.html

5. Payment schedule The stipend will be wire-transferred to the registered bank account of each

recipient on the 25th of the month. If the 25th is on a Saturday, Sunday, or National

Holiday, the monetary transfer will be scheduled on a prior weekday.

II. To Apply for the Stipend

All students, whether they wish to receive the stipend or not, must fill and submit

the stipend application in an announced application timeline to indicate their

preference and eligibility every year through the program. We then determine the

recipients of the year.

Need to submit the following:

・Stipend application form

・Remittance form

・Pledge (FORM1)

In April for Japanese students and by the first week of October for international

students, of the entering year.

III. To Apply for the Continuous Stipend

As mentioned above, we will review the stipend eligibility of a student each fiscal

year (April 1st-March 31st). Hence, students need to fill and submit the stipend

application in an announced application timeline to indicate their preference and

eligibility.

Need to submit the following:

・Stipend application form

・Pledge (FORM1)

By the mid-February for the following fiscal year.

http://www.osaka-u.ac.jp/en/guide/student/center.html

33

IV. To Suspend the Stipend

• The stipend will be halted automatically once you are no longer enrolled in the

IPBS for any reasons including a failure to pass the Qualifying Examination.

• The stipend will be suspended if a student takes a leave of absence, or he/she

withdraws from the Graduate School of Medicine. You are required to submit the

Stipend Suspension/Resuming form (FORM2) as well as official documents that

indicate your absence or withdrawal from school, to the IPBS Administrative

Office. A failure to submit the form and other documents will obligate you to make

repayment for the entire amount you received while being absent. The FORM2

must be submitted two months in advance from the time of suspension.

• The stipend will be cancelled when a recipient no longer satisfies the eligibility

requirements (see I.2.). It is also possible for the payment to be cancelled based on

your academic performance.

• Should you wish to decline the stipend, for any other reasons including personal

matters, you must submit the FORM2, as well. It must be submitted two months in

advance of the time of suspension.

V. To Suspend the Continuous Stipend

If changes in your eligibility or circumstance require you to decline the continuous

stipend between the time of application in February and the following April,

promptly submit the FORM2 by the end of February.

VI. To Resume the Stipend and Continuous Stipend

It is possible to resume once-halted stipend. Please submit Stipend

Suspension/Resuming form (FORM2), one month prior to the eligibility

fulfillment.

VII. Applying for Other Competitive Grants

Students may apply for and receive a research grant outside the IPBS and still

receive our stipend only with the discretion of IPBS coordinator, Professor

Kiyoshi Takeda, and as long as the grant is not listed as one of ineligibilities for

the IPBS stipend (see I.2.). If you wish to apply, please submit the Grants outside

IPBS (FORM3) and consult with Dr. Takeda, apart from the application process to

the funding source of your interests.

VIII. Official Stipend Receipt

Please request an official stipend receipt be issued from the administrative office

of Institute of Academic Initiatives by submitting Official Stipend Receipt Request

(FORM 4). You will need the official stipend receipt when you register for the

34

National Pension Plan at your local municipal office as well as at the time you

apply for tuition waiver at Osaka University.

Tax Obligation on the Stipend

The stipend classifies as income, and therefore, it is subject to taxation by law.

Should you not fulfill the tax obligation, the stipend may be cancelled. Please

submit your tax payment confirmation to the IPBS Administrative Office. Note

that your tax due may vary on the tax treaty between your country and Japan.

I. Income tax (Shotoku zei)

Your stipend is classified as miscellaneous income, as opposed to salary. Stipend

recipients are required by law to file a Final Return (Kakutei Shinkoku) by

themselves on weekdays during February 16 and March 15 every year at the tax

office of the National Tax Agency in your jurisdiction.

Your ‘income’ is the total monetary compensation you received in the form of

stipend from January 1 to December 31 from which university entrance fees,

tuitions and associated campus fees are deducted.

Please keep all the documentation related to the stipend and your expenditures on

education mailed to you (with the envelopes). In particular, make sure not to lose

the money transfer notification (Furikomi-no-oshirase) sent to you every month

from the University, as you will need to present it at the time of filing tax returns.

For further information on income tax and filing for a tax return, please refer to the

National Tax Agency webpage (www.nta.go.jp/foreign_language/index.htm) or

visit the tax office in your jurisdiction.

INCOME TAX AND SPECIAL INCOME TAX FOR RECONSTRUCTION

GUIDE(FOR ALIENS) www.nta.go.jp/tetsuzuki/shinkoku/shotoku/tebiki2015/pdf/43.pdf

II. Residential tax (Jumin zei)

This tax is levied as part of “Futsu-choshu”, meaning general local tax collection,

and the amount owed is based on the previous year's income as of January 1st. A

payment slip will be sent from the municipal tax office to your residency

sometime between May and June of the following year. You may pay residential

tax yourself by making four payments throughout the year (in June, August,

October and January). Depending on municipality, however, the total amount may

be lower if you make one full payment.

For more information, please visit your local municipal office or its website

Toyonaka City www.city.toyonaka.osaka.jp/multilingual/index.html

A failure or a refusal to pay both types of taxes is against the law; and in such a

case, the stipend may be cancelled and you will make repayment for the entire or

partial amount you received.

35

Obligation of Insurance and Pension Plan

I. National Health Insurance

All students must carry National Health Insurance (NHI) coverage. This insurance

will cover 70% of your most medical bill. Please visit the local municipal office of

your residency and present your residence card to enroll.

II. National Pension Plan

All nationals residing in Japan aged 20 or over are required to pay a premium (i.e.

social security) for the National Pension Plan. Please note that receiving the IPBS

stipend may not satisfy eligibility for Gakusei-nofu-tokurei-seido, an exemption

system for lower income students. Please make a payment according to a monthly

payment slip sent from the Japan Pension Service.
