“ThANKS” Fund
A Fund-Raising Drive by the Alumni Association for an Alumni-Sponsored Scholarship Fund 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 24 students since 2006, and need your support urgently this year as the fund hit ZERO in April 2017, and is still less than 15% of our goal.
Please make a donation! Here is HOW
Background Info and early drive reports
5th Fundraising Drive May 2017 to . . .
Our ThANKS Fund hit zero in April 2017. We need your generous support to be able to extend this important scholarship, which supports current students who are actively helping campus life be a dynamic and interactive place, to next academic year’s candidates. 100% of your donation, after credit card transaction fees, go to the students to help off set their living expenses for their 2nd year.
Donations are tax deductible in Japan for 10,000yen or more donation. Another donating option to IUJ is “Furusato Nozei”!
Goal: 3,600,000yen (100,000/yen per month for 2 people for 2 academic years)
Donations received in May 2017 at the IUJ HomeComing events 65,000
Current Balance 552,000 which is 15% of our current goal (as of 9/20/2019)

Initial and Successful ThANKS Fund Campaign – Donor COMMENTS
Bingwu Xie (IM98) & Jinhui Sun (IM99) (May 2007) 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 (Feb. 2007) writing in from the Philippines
This is the least we can do after having benefited from an IUJ scholarship about 20 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.”
