Osaka University Foundation for the Future

Osaka University Foundation for the Future was set up in May 2009 for the purpose of establishing financial foundation so that the University can maintain and promote education, research, social contribution, and international exchange programs. This system has been supported by many alumni, local people, and businesses since its founding.

Based on the principle that the funds are for supporting students, we will provide this scholarship.  We will continue to support research activities and student life proactively.
