The claim
自国民の奨学金の予算70億円、外国人留学生の予算180億円
Original review summary
The review says the 7 billion yen figure refers to the 2017 fiscal-year settlement for domestic grant scholarships, which later increased substantially; the 2022 budget was 252.5 billion yen. It says the foreign-student figure was about 18 billion yen in 2017, while the 2022 budget was 18.4 billion yen, so presenting both figures as current budgets is misleading.[S1]
