The Faculty of Science and Technology / Graduate School of Science and Technology Fujiwara Scholarship was established in 1997 through a donation from Mr. Yuzo Fujiwara. To cultivate capable individuals who can contribute to the world through science and technology, the fund provides scholarships for students actively engaged in international activities and honors students who have achieved results in socially recognized extracurricular activities. To date, the Fujiwara Prize and Fujiwara Scholarship have been awarded to more than 1,100 students in total.
