Cooperating　University

Cooperating University (CU) is a university or a junior college (regardless of private, national, public university) in Japan, which agrees with the purpose and idea of the “UNU Financial Assistance Programme for Students from Developing Countries Studying in Japan” and has signed the “Cooperating University (CU) Agreement” to provide reimbursable funds to the self-financed students enrolled at the university. After signing the “CU Agreement”, each CU plays an important role in many aspects of the programme such as recruitment and screening of students and dealing with and monitoring the reimbursements from students etc.
