Overseas Student Exchange Program

Since its founding, HitotsubashiUniversity has striven to provide an internationally minded education through student exchange programs. To further attract exceptional students to the university, Hitotsubashi alumni association Josuikai established the ‘Josuikai Overseas Student Exchange Scholarship’ for enrolled students in 1987.

At a time when no other national university alumni association offered exchange programs, the Josiukai scholarship received wide media coverage with a photograph and headline reading ‘Student fees, travel and living expenses paid … students pampered’ (translation) on the front page of the July 18, 1987 Nikkei society section. The Mainichi and Yomiuri newspapers also ran headlines on the story.

In 1988 with the backing of Meiji Sangyo, founded by the late Hitotsubashi graduate Sadayoshi Shimamura (grad ‘ 27) , the program merged with the ‘Meiji Sangyo Overseas Student Exchange Scholarship’ to become the ‘Hitotsubashi overseas student dispatch program’. So far, nearly 800 students have benefitted from this scholarship.

Since its inception, dispatched students have sent ‘study abroad scholarship reports’ which are published in the Josuikai newsletter. The reports have become widely renowned for their fresh and detailed insight into life overseas, with sharp analysis of each country and at times impartial insight into unique Japanese qualities.
