Hiroshima Scholarship Award Ceremony |
As part of the Hiroshima Scholarship Program, this Foundation awards thirty
privately-funded international students in the Hiroshima City area with
a scholarship of 30,000 yen per month for a one-year period.
Thirty international students (from three countries) studying at ten
universities in Hiroshima City were designated as Hiroshima Scholarship
Students for this year, and on July 7 (Thursday), the Scholarship Award
Ceremony was held in a training room at Hiroshima City International House.
Six representatives of five organizations that make significant donations
to the Hiroshima Fund for Foreign Students attended the ceremony as guests,
in addition to guests from the universities (nine people from nine universities)
that regularly look after the scholarship students.
After the ceremony, participants moved to the hall at the venue, for
a gathering with the guests and the other participants from universities.
Each of the scholarship students gave a speech where they introduced themselves,
spoke of their impressions of Hiroshima, aspirations for the future, and
expressed their gratitude for the scholarship they had been awarded. With
a saxophone performance by Mr. Archimedes, an international student from
the Philippines studying at Elizabeth University of Music Graduate School,
participants enjoyed themselves in the friendly atmosphere.
We look forward to continued strong support and cooperation from Hiroshima's
citizens for the Hiroshima Fund for Foreign Students, to ensure that privately-funded
international students can concentrate on their studies without concerns
about financial issues, and become a bridge of international exchange with
the people of Hiroshima City. |
