Sendai Zonta I International Conference Scholarship for TU Female Graduate Students

To celebrate Tohoku University’s centenary in 2007, Zonta Club of Sendai I, an organization that aims to promote international understanding and community service and to improve the status of women in society, has continuously endowed the “Zonta Club of Sendai I Rose Assistance”※1 as a fund for assisting female graduate students enrolled at Tohoku University as a way of supporting promising talent capable of playing an important role in society. This program’s name was changed in 2017 to reflect its focus on nurturing women with potential to become leaders in society. The Tohoku University DEI Center uses this fund to help female graduate students cover the costs of participation※2 in international academic conferences where they will present their research. The purpose of this is to cultivate female talent who can play active roles on the world stage and to advance gender equality at Tohoku University.
