Equal education and opportunity for all.
NPO Kidsdoor Fund provides financial aid for students in need.
- gave up college due to cost of prep school/standardized test
- narrowed school choice to avoid application fees
- little time to study due to part-time job to support household
- couldn't afford college entrance fees
Although some financial aid and tuition waivers are available for students in need, they do not cover admission-related expenses such as standardized tests, textbooks, application fees, and prep school (Juku). It results in significant disadvantages at admission, or even dropping out of education.
NPO Kidsdoor Fund provides financial assistance to support students with financial difficulties. We also offer grants for local NPOs which provide learning support for children in need.
Your donation, which is tax-deductible in Japan, directly supports students in a form of a scholarship.
