Over the past decade, the Japan ICU Foundation has increasingly focused on providing scholarships for ICU students. The majority of funding for these scholarships is collected from a group of loyal alumni and friends of ICU in North America. The Foundation provides a number of different scholarships, including:
The Dr. Duke-Dr. Yoon Scholarship was initiated in 2003 by Dr. Byung-yul Yoon in honor of his former professor at ICU, Dr. Benjamin Duke, and also out of a deep commitment to the importance of maintaining close ties between Korea and Japan. The annual scholarship is awarded to one or two Korean students who are enrolled in either undergraduate or graduate programs at ICU. The scholarship has been a critically important component in ICU's emerging commitment to establishing closer ties with its partner institutions in Korea.
