On Thursday, April 18, a ceremony was held to award the Ishima Hiroshi Scholarship.

The Ishima Hiroshi Scholarship is awarded to students who exhibit excellent academic performance and a strong drive to seek post-graduation employment. This year's winner was fourth-year student Mao Kenmotsu from the Department of Global Tourism, Faculty of Global Engagement.

After receiving a surprise gift from Hiroshi Ishima along with the scholarship certificate, Ms. Kenmotsu expressed her gratitude, stating, "I hope to start my own company in the future to pursue work that provides support for Kyoto's traditional industries and independent study by students. Kyoto is an internationally known tourist destination, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be studying here at KUFS, an outstanding university where I can enjoy, through my studies, all of the benefits that Kyoto has to offer. In order to repay my teachers and other KUFS staff who have helped me along the way, and to fulfill my obligation as a scholarship recipient, I will devote myself fully to my studies during my final year at the University."
