Kobe City University of Foreign Studies (hereinafter “Kobe City University of Foreign Studies”) has established a new scholarship program for study abroad, the “Steve Yamada Scholarship,” with the support of Mr. Susumu Yamada (known as “Steve Yamada”), a graduate of the English and American Studies Department.
After graduating from Kobe City University of Foreign Studies in 1965, Mr. Yamada started his own business in New York, USA, as the chairman and founder of Maypro Industries, Inc.
