［COVID-19で留学計画が変更になった場合の原則］

1. この方針は毎年細部を見直すが、以下は2020年度の奨学生に適用される。
2. 米国（日本）で生活することは、米大（東大）への留学の重要な一部であるとFUTIは考えるので、できるだけ米国（日本）で生活して欲しいとFUTIは願っている。但し行政からの指示は遵守しなければならない。
3. しかしCOVID-19の影響は深刻であり、FUTIが奨学生の健康や万一の療養に責任を持てるはずもないので、留学実行の可否や変更について奨学生が熟慮の末決定したことを、FUTIは尊重し支援する。但し奨学生はその決定についてFUTIに報告しFUTIの確認を得ることをお願いする。
4. FUTIは善良な基金運営者であるために、会計上厳しくあらねばならないが、その範囲内ではできるだけ奨学生のためになる寛大な方針を選びたい。しかし予算上の理由から、奨学金の更なる増額は認められない。
5. 留学先に渡航・滞在し、しかし大学の事情で留学計画の受講がOnlineになった場合は、登校と同じと見なし、奨学金の金額変更はない。
6. COVID-19関連の不可抗力によって、または奨学生の個人的判断によって、奨学金支給を予定していた留学を取りやめた場合、または年度内を超えて延期した場合には、奨学金は取り消しとする。奨学生採択を権利として翌年に持ち越すことは、翌年の応募者との公平を欠くのでできないが、1年後に再び応募する場合に事情をEssayなどで訴求すれば、心証的に有利な要素になる。
7. 奨学金を未支給だが予定していた留学に関して、または奨学金を一部または全部受け取って留学した後に、COVID-19関連の不可抗力によって、または奨学生の個人的判断によって、留学計画が変更され、支出が大幅に減少した場合には、以下に詳述する基準で奨学金を減額する。即ち­­­未支給の部分があればそこからまず減額し、それでも減額が足りない場合には、返金をお願いすることも事情によってはあり得る。
8. 上記各項目で記述されていない事情の場合には、奨学生とFUTIの話し合いで対処方法を決める。

［FUTI奨学金］

1. 奨学生が止むを得ざる事情または個人的判断で留学を取り止めた場合、奨学金を取り消す。
2. 奨学生が留学に代えて、留学計画の授業をOnlineで母国で受ける場合には、奨学金は3/4にする。
3. 奨学金を受けて留学した後、予定月日で終了する前に勉学を中断して帰国した場合には、奨学金の金額から往復旅費を差し引いた残額を日割計算とする。奨学生はその計算をFUTIに届けて頂きたい。

［米国伊藤財団-FUTI奨学金］

1. 奨学生が止むを得ざる事情または個人的判断で留学を取り止めた場合、または米大の年度内を超えて留学を延期した場合には、奨学金を取り消す。
2. 奨学生が渡米する前に留学に代えて、留学計画の授業をOnlineで日本で受けるように変更した場合には、米国伊藤財団-FUTI奨学金と他から併給で受ける奨学金の合計が、授業料など米大学納付金を超えた時には、等しくなるように米国伊藤財団-FUTI奨学金の額を調整する。奨学生は、上記のように超える場合も超えない場合も、その計算をFUTIに届けて頂きたい。
3. 奨学金を一部または全部受けて留学した後、予定月日で終了する前に帰国し、COVID-19の止むを得ぬ事情で勉学を中断する場合、またはOnlineで日本で勉学を継続する場合には、事情説明と、支出金額の変化の有無と内容をFUTIに届けて頂きたい。但し、
   1. 応募時の必要経費総額を100%とした時に、米国伊藤財団-FUTI奨学金の金額が30%以下の場合は、その計算をFUTIに届ければ奨学金の減額は無い。
   2. 計画変更後の必要経費総額の変化が20%未満の場合は、その計算をFUTIに届ければ奨学金の減額は無い。
   3. 計画変更後の必要経費総額の変化が20%以上（例えば30%）の場合は、その変化の割合（例えば30%）だけ奨学金を減額する。

This policy is valid from March, 2020 to the time when WHO will declare the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some Ito Foundation U.S.A.-FUTI or FUTI scholarship recipients have been or may be ordered, encouraged or offered options to return to their home country, Japan, while classes are continued online. FUTI’s policy regarding these cases is as follows:

1. FUTI wants to remind the recipient that living in the U.S. is an important part of studying in the U.S.
2. Needless to say, authorities’ orders must be observed.
3. In any case, study must be continued to complete the original study plan.
4. FUTI expects the recipient to choose the option, if any such as whether to return to Japan or not, that is best for the recipient’s life plan. FUTI will honor the recipient’s choice because FUTI can by no means be responsible for the recipient’s health.
5. Should the recipient elect to return to Japan earlier, changing the original study abroad plan, it is required of the recipient to report such decisions to FUTI and receive confirmation from FUTI.
6. As the reasonable operator of the fund for Ito Foundation U.S.A.-FUTI and FUTI scholarships (hereafter “Scholarship”), FUTI reserves the right to adjust the Scholarship amount accordingly as outlined below. The recipient is required to report to FUTI which of the following situation applies to them.
   • The recipient has reported in the application material the total amount of expenditure for the original study abroad plan. This amount is taken as 100%. If the awarded total Scholarship amount, paid and to be paid, is less than 30%, no adjustment is necessary.
   • If a change of the original plan causes more expenditure, FUTI cannot increase the Scholarship amount.
   • If a change of the original plan results in less total expenditure and the difference is no more than 20%, no adjustment is necessary.
   • If the decrease in expenditure is more than 20% (e.g.30%), the total Scholarship amount, paid and to be paid, shall be decreased by the same ratio (e.g.30%). FUTI shall decrease the unpaid Scholarship amount or require the recipient to return a part of the already paid Scholarship to FUTI.
7. Cases not covered by the policy above shall be considered by FUTI on a case-by-case basis.

寄付基金に投入された現金、有価証券、及び他の資産はFUTI理事会と提携する基金運用専門家によって投資されます。寄付申込書で、「寄付基金（Endowment）への寄付」を選ばれますと、あなたの寄付金はFUTI一般の寄付基金に投入されます。

法人および篤志家の皆様には、特別の寄付基金を是非作って頂きたくお願い申しあげます。寄付基金の名称は、寄付者ご自身のお名前でも、賛辞を贈りたい方（例えば、ご両親、最愛の人、恩師など）のお名前でも結構です。５万ドル、１０万ドル、２５万ドル、５０万ドル、或いは１００万ドルの寄付基金の誓約をして頂き、５年間の分割払いで寄付して頂きたく思います。

基金はFUTI の所有になりますが、寄付者の投資に対するご意向（控えめ、中庸、或いは、やや積極的な投資）を出来るだけ配慮させて頂きます。１０万ドルの基金は投資利益率（基金運用家の手数料等を差し引き後) が５％であれば、年に５千ドル運用資金を生みます。どの様な活動を援助すべきかも、ご相談致したいと思います。例えば、夏季インターンシップ・プログラムにご関心があれば、投資からの収入で、毎年一人のインターンを充分援助できるでしょう。選ばれた優秀な学生に手渡される賞状には、あなたのお名前と署名がスポンサーとして明記されます。

Double Your Donation through a Matching Gift Program

Many companies offer a matching gift program whereby an employee’s and/or retiree’s gift to a charitable organization like FUTI will be matched by the company, typically by the same amount, i.e., 1 to 1 matching. If your company or former employer recognizes FUTI as an eligible organization, your donation of, for example, $500 will be become a $1,000 gift to FUTI, and it will be recognized as such (although for your income tax deduction purpose, the amount is what you personally donate).

If your employer asks for our qualification to be eligible for a matching gift please contact us. We were granted, effective September 27, 2007, Public Charity status under section 170 (b)(1)(A)(vi), and are tax exempt under IRS Tax Code, section 501 (c)(3).

If you take the following three steps, we will take care of the rest.

1. Check with your company to see whether the company offers a matching gift program.
2. If it does, ask for a “matching gift form” of the company together with its donation guideline.
3. Decide how much you want to donate to FUTI. Fill out the form and mail it to the FUTI office.

We have found the following companies to have a matching gift program. If your employer and/or other companies you know of offer a matching gift program and are not listed below, please write to us. Please include the name, email and/or phone of the contact person.

Selected List of Companies with Matching Gift Program:

• Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ
• Deloitte & Touche LLP
• Mizuho Financial Group
• Mitsubishi International Corporation
• Mitsui USA
• Morrison Foerster
• Toyota Motor Credit Corporation
• Toyota Motor Sales, USA
• Toyota Technical Center

A planned provision in a will or living trust is also a great way to leave your legacy. There are several types of bequests to consider, depending on your financial objectives. Please consult with your Trust, administrator, financial advisor or attorney.

• Specific bequest: You bequeath (i.e., make a bequest) to FUTI a specific dollar amount or specific percentage of your estate. Or you bequeath to FUTI specific assets such as securities, real estates or personal property.
• Residuary bequest: You bequeath to FUTI all or a specific percentage of the “rest, residue and remainder” of your estate, after all other specific bequest, debts, taxes and expenses have been paid.
• Contingency bequest: You bequeath to FUTI all or a stated percentage of your estate, if certain circumstances should occur, such as all named beneficiaries pre-decease you.

When you bequeath to FUTI, please consider how your gift should be used to support FUTI.

• Endowment bequest requires FUTI to invest your bequest permanently and spend only the earnings to support FUTI’s activities. Creation of an endowment fund means that your legacy will remain indefinitely. You may specify a program or project of your choice, as in a restricted bequest.
• Unrestricted bequest allows FUTI to decide the allocation of your gift to FUTI’s grant programs where the need is greatest.
• Restricted bequest allows you to specify how your gift should be used. You may wish to designate a specific program of FUTI (e.g., a scholarship program for a UTokyo student). However, it is advisable to add a provision that allows the FUTI Board to determine a program that is closest to your preference, in the event your specified program should become impossible, impractical or illegal.

Please submit the following form for further inquiry.

You may have a life insurance policy that has outlived your original purpose, with all your children having grown up, and having accumulated enough assets to guarantee the financial security of your heirs. Such life insurance can be used for philanthropic purposes. There are two different ways you can structure a gift of life insurance to FUTI.

• Name FUTI as a Beneficiary: By naming FUTI as the primary or secondary beneficiary of the policy, your Estate may be able to claim a charitable deduction for the proceeds that will pass to FUTI.
• Transfer the ownership to FUTI: By making FUTI the owner and beneficiary of your paid-up policy, you may be entitled to a tax deduction.

Please submit the following form to further discuss donating a life insurance policy.

The purpose of the endowment fund is to secure financial stability in FUTI’s activities for many years to come.

Money, securities and other assets donated into the endowment fund will be invested by a professional fund manager appointed by FUTI. If you select “FUTI Endowment Fund” under Donation Use, your gift will be poured into FUTI’s general Endowment Fund.

We welcome corporate sponsors and generous individuals to establish a special endowment fund that carries your own name or any individual (or organization) to whom you wish to pay a tribute, for instance, your parent, loved one or your teacher. We encourage you to make a pledge of $50,000, $100,000, $250,000, $500,000 or $1,000,000, which can be paid in installments over a period of five years.

Although the fund belongs to FUTI, we will accommodate your preference as much as possible with regard to the investment style (conservative, moderate, somewhat aggressive). A $100,000 endowment fund is expected to generate $5,000 a year, if the investment return is 5% (after deducting the fund management company’s commission). We will also consult with you on what programs should be supported by your endowment fund. If you are interested in, for instance, supporting our summer internship program, the investment income from your fund will comfortably support one summer intern every year. Your name will then be printed and signed by you as his/her sponsor in the award certificate to be given to the selected outstanding student.

If you find the worthwhile cause of FUTI activities to be very much in line with your desire to nurture talented and aspiring students to become global leaders of tomorrow, establishing your own endowment fund with FUTI is a great way to achieve your objective. FUTI will be working with you to fulfill your dream to return a portion of what you have earned to a good cause for future generations.

For further inquiry, please contact us using the form below.

Please consider a gift of securities to Friends of UTokyo, Inc (FUTI). Before you transfer your securities to FUTI, please fill out and submit the below Donation of Securities Form. Then an appropriate individual from FUTI will get in touch with you and discuss necessary procedures.

An IRA owner age 70½ and older may take advantage of the IRA charitable rollover provision.

Charitable distributions from the IRA can be used to satisfy the annual required minimum distribution (RMD).

Details of the provision:

• You must be of age 70½ or older on the date of the distribution.
• A maximum of US$100,000 per year may be distributed to qualified charitable organizations.
• Distributions must be transmitted from either your financial advisor or your IRA custodian directly to a charitable organization like FUTI.
• Distributions to charity can be applied to satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD).
• The donation will reduce your adjusted gross income (AGI) for the year, and thus reduce your tax obligations.
• This provision applies to IRAs only, and does not apply to other forms of retirement plans such as 401(k) and 403(b) .

Before transferring your distribution. Please fill out and submit the Donation By IRA Form below. We will provide FUTI’s bank information such as ABA and account numbers to the provided email address.

Our online donation system utilizes PayPal which allows donations to be made by credit card or from a bank account.

If your credit card billing address is outside of the U.S.:

A PayPal account will be necessary in order to make a donation. Opening a PayPal account is free and safe. It may take 2-3 business days to open and verify the account, but once it is verified, a payment may be made either by credit card or bank account.

If your credit card billing address is within the U.S.:

A PayPal account will not be necessary to make a donation. However, without a PayPal account there will be a $2000 transaction limit per month. In order to make a donation of more than $2000 without opening a PayPal account, the payments can be separated into monthly installments.

Please note that due to a special agreement between PayPal and FUTI as a small non-profit organization, there are transaction limits. PayPal account holders have a $10,000 limit for a single transaction, while for non-account holders the limit is $2,000 per transaction per month.

Prof. Teruo Fujii received his Ph.D. degree in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering from the University of Tokyo (UTokyo) in 1993. After working at the RIKEN Institute, he was appointed as Associate Professor in 1999 at the Institute of Industrial Science (IIS), University of Tokyo, and promoted to Full Professor in 2007. Currently he is Executive Director and Vice President of UTokyo in charge of External Relations. He also serves as President of the Chemical and Biological Microsystems Society (CBMS), which is the governing body of the MicroTAS conference, the most important scientific meeting in the field of Microfluidics.

Shigenori (Shig) Matsushita (松下重悳): Upon graduating from the Department of Electrical Engineering (with Major in Communications) of UTokyo in March 1959, he joined Toshiba Corporation in April 1959 where he designed basic transistor circuits for computers. He was a chief design engineer for a patch-board programmed computer and a magnetic drum internal-program computer. In 1962 he was awarded a Fulbright scholarship and studied at the University of Illinois, where he worked as an assistant to develop a pattern recognition computer, ILLIAC III, in the Digital Computer Laboratory, and received his MS degree in August 1963.

In 1961, a joint research project with the then Assistant Professor Hiroshi Hagiwara of Kyoto University began and the first full-scale microprogrammed computer, KT-P, was completed. This work was presented at the IFIP Congress in 1962 and attracted attention for its variable microprograms, which were implemented by patch-boards and punched hole cards covering photo-transistors. Based on this technology, the development of a high-speed microprogrammed computer, TOSBAC-3400, for commercialization was initiated, for which he served as the chief design engineer. This computer was widely used by computer centers of domestic universities, primarily for FORTRAN calculations and by camera manufacturers for their lens designs.

Toshiba became affiliated with the Computer Division of General Electric, which was then annexed into Honeywell Information Systems (HIS). As a result, HIS became affiliated with both Toshiba and NEC. Mr. Matsushita led a joint HIS-Toshiba project to develop a high-speed computer and its technology , by dispatching several dozens of Toshiba engineers to HIS.

While holding these technical and managerial responsibilities for the company, he studied by himself, in his private hours, to construct a crosstalk theory for digital signals, and received his Doctor of Engineering degree from UTokyo in October 1974.

In 1978, Toshiba transferred its large-scale general-purpose computer business to a joint company with NEC, named “NEC-Toshiba Information Systems,” where
