Tuition reduction will be administered to persons who have indicated agreement to the contents of the "Ritsumeikan University Tuition Reduction Scholarship for International Students Regulations” (hereinafter, "regulations") through their submission of the pledge form by the designated deadline, by way of offsetting tuition by the amount of scholarship at the time of each semester's tuition payment.
