A gift to the future “Pay Forward Fund” Campaign (~January 31, 2025)
Since its foundation, donors have empowered ICU students with their contributions. The Pay Forward Fund has been established to hand over the baton of support to the next generation to make sure that no students will have to forgo the ICU experience for financial reasons. We informed our alumni of this scholarship-specific donation three years ago. With thoughtful gifts from many donors, we have started the Pay Forward Fund this year with 8.4 billion yen, including that incorporated from the ICU Fund. We appreciate your continued support.
