Kyuusoukai Fellowship

While providing scholarships that give students the freedom to work on ways to solve social problems that need to be solved, the Kyuusoukai also organizes the Kyuusoukai Fellowship. The Kyuusoukai Fellowship is an alumni association of Kyuusoukai Fellows. It connects fellows beyond the time of their adoption and helps them connect with the necessary contacts and resources in Japan and abroad through mentors and university networks.

It is a badge of honor for the Fellows to be a member of the Kyuusoukai Fellowship, which recognizes essential and major social issues and persistently seeks solutions to social problems using business forms with a constructive and critical spirit, without being distracted by easy ideas or fads.
