About us
Our Mission
EDUCATION SPRINGS NEW LIFE.
SPRIX was founded in 1997 in a regional city in Japan. For towns blanketed in deep snow,
the arrival of spring is very special.
The warm sunlight slowly melts the snow, allowing grass and flowers to bloom.
It reminds us of the joy children feel when they solve a problem they once thought impossible.
The joy of saying “I did it!” springs from the effort, persistence, and trial-and-error behind it,
and propels people to a new stage—just like the arrival of spring.
Through education, we aspire to spring new seasons of life for people around the world.
We want to help each different people experience their own new spring.

Chairman’s Message
For many years, SPRIX has supported the younger generation through education, helping them build their own futures.
Today, however, Japan's declining birthrate is accelerating, consequently diminishing the number of young people who will lead our society. At the same time, rising living costs and rapid social change have had a serious impact on children and students in need of support. When adequate educational opportunities cannot be secured, their future prospects—including access to higher education and stable employment—are significantly constrained. These challenges are complex and cannot be solved by financial assistance alone.
In recent years, researchers and support organizations have gradually brought these issues to public attention. Yet we continue to see a lack of effective measures to support vulnerable children and students.
Our Foundation addresses these challenges through two core initiatives. First, we provide scholarships to students facing financial hardship so that economic circumstances do not deprive them of educational opportunities. Second, we conduct research on structural and non-financial barriers to learning, with the aim of providing data and insights that can help society develop more effective solutions. Through these efforts, we hope to contribute to the sound development of the younger generation.
We would be grateful for your continued understanding, support, and cooperation.
