Creating a campus where all members can thrive
In today's rapidly changing society, respecting diversity and building an inclusive environment are essential elements for us to live better. As the saying goes, "Sakura Ume Touji" (cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, and plum blossoms), the cherry blossoms bloom beautifully when they fully demonstrate their characteristics and charms. In the same way, we humans, who have different backgrounds, values, and abilities, believe that by respecting each other, we can open up great possibilities together. At our university, diversity is respected and each student, faculty, and staff member can fully demonstrate their individuality and charms. At the DI Promotion Center, we will listen to your voices and promote various initiatives.

Soka University Female Graduate Student Fellowship Program
Soka University Female Graduate Student Fellowship Program
In order to promote gender equality projects and strengthen research capabilities, our university has been implementing the "Soka University Female Graduate Student Fellowship Program" from 2023 for female students who will be entering the graduate school doctoral program.
In addition to nurturing the ability to conduct independent research, we aim to develop female researchers who have the intelligence and ability to act beyond their fields of expertise in order to solve the various issues we will face as global citizens in the future, and we provide financial support (scholarships, etc. up to the equivalent of annual tuition fees) so that they can concentrate on their research activities. However, this is only available to those who are not receiving other scholarships or other support systems.
