There is a first and second signing period each month. Please sign once a month during either signing period. However, if you come in the second signing period, your scholarship payment date for that month will be delayed. The monthly signing period are different for each scholarship, so please check the information below.　

To verify your identity, we check your residence card when signing. Students who do not have one should bring their passport. Student ID cards are not acceptable. Please be sure to bring your residence card and a ballpoint pen as you will not be able to sign if your identity cannot be verified.
