Yuichi Kurimoto Memorial Awards

The Yuichi Kurimoto Memorial Awards are endowed scholarships awarded to students with satisfactory academic standing enrolled in a Bachelor of Commerce degree who have demonstrated interest in Japan. Selection is based on academic standing with preference given to students with satisfactory Japanese language proficiency. Successful applicants are encouraged to use this scholarship to study at Nagoya University of Commerce and Business Administration in Aichi or at another Japanese university, Japanese company, and/or Japanese business organization. The award was established by Hiroshi Kurimoto, President of Nagoya University of Commerce and Business Administration, in memory of Yuichi Kurimoto, the first Japanese native son to earn a degree at the University of Alberta. The award was also established in honour of the 40th Anniversary of Nagoya University of Commerce and Business Administration and celebrates the close partnership Nagoya and the University of Alberta have enjoyed over the past forty years.
