1 The 29th Fujitsu Scholarship Program Application - Fujitsu Scholarship Program Dear Fujitsu Scholarship Program Applicant: Thank you for your interest. The world is increasingly interconnected, and there is a growing need for leaders to equip themselves with the knowledge and skills required to function effectively in both domestic and international realms. In order to succeed in this environment, leaders require acute insights into the industries, societies, and cultures other than their own. Fujitsu supports this endeavor by providing postgraduate education and cross-cultural management training opportunities to participants from across the Asia-Pacific region. The Fujitsu Scholarship has been offered since 1985 as a key initiative for deepening the relationships between the countries and citizens of the Asia-Pacific region through an exchange of cultural values, traditions, and business ways. This exchange fosters mutual understanding and cultivates networking necessary for navigating challenges of the region. This scholarship has since enabled 440 professionals from 17 countries and Hawaii to study cross-cultural management program. If you are selected as a Fujitsu Scholar, you will attend three and a half months brand new program offered by Fujitsu-JAIMS Foundation, beginning in April After completion, you will be expected to utilize your increased cultural sensitivity and management expertise in your home country, thereby contributing toward mutual understanding and cooperation among the people of the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. I look forward to receiving your completed application. Sincerely yours, Kumiko Iguchi General Manager Fujitsu Scholarship Program Fujitsu Limited

As a leading global provider of cutting edge ICT-based communication products, services, and solutions, the Fujitsu Group has a vital role to play in materializing a balanced expression of corporate sustainability. We also recognize our responsibility as a regional corporate citizen to foster mutually beneficial relationships with our local communities and broader society through active contributions and involvement. Education and international exchange have long been a major focus of Fujitsu s corporate social contribution efforts, and in this way we seek to broaden mutual understanding amongst our regional neighbors. Fujitsu Scholars visited Fujitsu s HQ upon completion.

The JAIMS idea was to take college graduates who were already in the business world and teach them the language, business methods, and special skills used in other countries. Initially, the programs enrolled Japanese participants who learned American business and culture, and American participants who learned Japanese business and culture. Over the past 40 years since its establishment, JAIMS has educated and trained over 23,000 program and seminar participants from 55 countries. In 2006, JAIMS was awarded the Japanese Foreign Minister s Commendation for that year in recognition of contributions to international exchange extending for more than three decades. The headquarters has been transferred from Hawaii to Japan in 2012 to facilitate the collaboration with Asian countries. By forming a multi-campus network consisting of its Asian partners, the JAIMS Hawaii campus and Japan headquarters, JAIMS realizes its mission of creating a community in the Asia-Pacific region by cocreation of Knowledge. 3
