The Nitori International Scholarship Foundation, a public interest incorporated foundation, continues to support CCU (National Chung Cheng University) students in achieving their dreams and stepping onto the global stage. In its seventh year of collaboration with CCU, the foundation has donated an impressive NT$1 million in scholarships to encourage students to actively learn Japanese and broaden their international horizons. This year, the number of scholarship recipients has expanded from six to ten, providing even more outstanding CCU students—those committed to social contribution and promoting international goodwill—with the opportunity to receive substantial support. Dreaming big is no longer just a wish!

The Nitori International Scholarship Foundation, established in March 2005 by the NITORI Group, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Since its founding, the foundation has been dedicated to cultivating globally competitive talent. To date, it has supported over 10,700 students from 47 countries, demonstrating the company's strong commitment to giving back to society and advancing global education. Marking its 20th anniversary, the scale of scholarships awarded to CCU students this year has reached an all-time high.

The Student Affairs Division (Office of Student Life) encourages eligible students to apply through departmental nomination. To offer more opportunities, the scholarship application deadline has been extended to May 28, 2025. Students interested in learning Japanese or in participating in Japanese cultural, educational, or international exchange activities, are encouraged to apply. With passion, dreams, and action, students have the chance to gain recognition and support from the foundation.

Chairman Akio Nitori also shared a heartfelt message with students worldwide:
"I hope all scholarship recipients will take time to look within themselves, truly understand who they are, and build their own vision and life blueprint. Embracing a vision means living a life devoted to others and to society. I encourage you to bravely take on challenges, act proactively, and shine brightly all over the world!"

CCU expressed its heartfelt gratitude for the foundation’s longstanding support and recognition. This year's expanded scholarship quota symbolizes a high level of trust and recognition from an international enterprise regarding the potential of CCU students. The university continues to actively promote scholarship opportunities and encourages students to learn Japanese and other international languages, participate in global exchanges and take bold steps toward the world stage.
