The 2025-2026 FUTI Campaign is still underway, but this year is special! If more than 150 people donate during the campaign period (July 2025 – June 2026), the FUTI “Celebrate UTokyo’s 150th Anniversary with a Gift” Campaign will receive a major boost of $150,000 match by an anonymous donor. The donation can be in any amount, large or small. We are pleased to report that 26 donors have already contributed, but there is still time for you to help FUTI reach its goal!
Since the inception of Friends of UTokyo, Inc. in 2007, 323 scholarships have been awarded to support University of Tokyo students to study in the US and US university students to study at UTokyo.
These study abroad experiences, whether it be a few weeks participating in a summer internship or a long-term endeavor to obtain a degree, have made a valuable impact on the students’ lives. Students express their gratitude for the scholarship in their reports, often indicating that they would not have been able to afford the study abroad without the scholarship.
FUTI’s scholarship programs are made possible through the generous donations from UTokyo alumni and other supporters of Friends of UTokyo who believe in this mission to support the global leaders of tomorrow.
