Corporate Contribution Program

A potentially cost effective alternative to paying school fees, tuition and the Japanese individual income taxes on these educational benefits.

The Contribution Program is a special corporate scholarship program that is available for organizations that are responsible for covering expatriate employees’ educational expenses. Instead of paying tuition and applicable fees, companies agree to make donations to the school. The donations are used partly to fund special corporate scholarships, which are awarded to dependents of participating companies.
‍
Under an authorized agreement, which was established in 1978, with Japan’s National Tax Administration Agency, scholarships funded under the Contribution Program are not taxable as personal income in Japan. Thus corporations avoid the grossing up tax impact on these educational benefits. The precise tax savings are contingent on salary level and other considerations.

Advantages to Both the Participating Corporations and ASIJ

A company’s participation in the Contribution Program is one of the factors considered in ASIJ admissions decisions.

A further advantage is that by participating in the Contribution Program, corporations generate additional income for the school at no additional cost to the company. This supplemental income helps to ensure the continuing excellence of the ASIJ program and facilities.

The high quality of an ASIJ education can, in large part, be directly attributed to the special support the school has received through this Corporate Scholarship Program.
