Our Mission

As it aims to be a world-leading research university, Nagoya University is reinvigorating its educational and research activities. Consequently, funding also must increase in proportion with these efforts. Management expenses grants from the government to support the university's education and research activities, however, are being reduced from year to year as Japan's national fiscal situation worsens; this makes strengthening our University’s financial base through the Foundation all the more essential, so that we may continue our world-class education and research in the future.

The number of undergraduate and graduate students who receive financial aid in Japan is increasing each year. Today, one in two students receive financial assistance. Your aid is essential in supporting these young people and the bright futures that lie ahead of them.
