  2. Students who find it extremely difficult to pay tuition because an individual who is chiefly responsible for their academic expenses ("Academic Expense Supporter") has passed away, or the students themselves or their Academic Expense Supporter has suffered damages from wind, flood or other disasters within six (6) months prior to the payment.
  3. Students who have reason(s) that are recognized by the university president as equivalent to those in 2.
