The Nippon Foundation Scholars Association (TNFSA)

For the past 40 years, The Nippon Foundation has provided around 40 different scholarship programs, benefiting approximately 40,000 individuals worldwide. Until now, once recipients completed their scholarships, the relationship with the foundation would typically end. However, in order to continue supporting recipients after their scholarships, The Nippon Foundation launched The Nippon Foundation Scholars Association (TNFSA) in 2020. Anyone who has benefited from The Nippon Foundation scholarship is eligible to join.

TNFSA serves as a platform where fellows can connect across different scholarship programs, bringing together experts from various fields to exchange information and initiate collaborative activities. It also provides a space for The Nippon Foundation and its fellows to maintain connections, potentially forming the basis for addressing future social issues. Additionally, TNFSA offers a variety of resources, such as mentorship programs and small project support systems.
