Donations go to an Alumni-Sponsored Scholarship Fund (stipends) for current IUJ students who are contributing to campus life, and in memory of IUJ’s Founding Father Dr. Sohei Nakayama (March 5, 1906 – November 19, 2005) to whom we all owe much ThANKS. We have sponsored 32 students since 2006, but the fund is depleted.

Report on the recent URGENT drive (August-September 2020):
COVID19 put the arrival of our incoming students into a flux. Those coming from overseas were required by national policy to spend 2-week quarantine in Tokyo upon arrival. Many could not afford it. Thanks to IUJ alumni we raised more than enough money to support those with financial need. Here is the summary:
3,848,400yen donated (or pledged) by 56 alumni plus team Indonesia, and 1 exchange student as of 9/25/2020 THANK YOU. These donations made it possible for IUJ to support all the incoming students who had a financial need* – we did not lose any new IUJ family members! THANK YOU
*The number of students in need decreased from our original prediction due to some of the scholarship providers deciding to help with the required quarantine hotel stay. The amount donated will cover our expected need for 2021 as well! We are grateful.
Initial and Successful ThANKS Fund Campaign – Donor COMMENTS
Bingwu Xie (IM98) & Jinhui Sun (IM99) writing in from Tokyo
Both Jinhui (IM 99) and I (Bingwu IM98) are very happy to be able to be part of this!
Iggy and Mhu Sison writing in from the Philippines
This is the least we can do after having benefited from an IUJ scholarship about 30 years ago. We have much to be grateful for — an IUJ global perspective, a Japanese cultural immersion and lifelong friendships (including our own marriage made possible by IUJ!).
Lamin Drammeh 1997 MBA writing from The Gambia
“I am thrilled by this noble idea. We, the alumni of IUJ, are obliged to give back something valuable to our school”
Whitney (Smith) Jiranek 1999 MBA writing from New York City
“I loved my time at IUJ and being funded by scholarship was an incredibly generous “gift” I feel I may never know how to repay. I guess I am seeing my donation to this fund as a great contribution towards that.”
Masaru Yokoi IM00 writing from Japan
“As one of Sohei’s children, I would like to follow in his steps and contribute to IUJers.”
