KEYENCE Foundation
Offering Strong Support to the Youth
Who Will Guide Our Future
In 2018, KEYENCE established the KEYENCE Foundation to contribute to the development of human resources who will in turn contribute to society.
It must be acknowledged that the support system for young people seeking to attend college continues to be inadequate. With this in mind, we wanted to help create an environment where
students can concentrate on their studies with peace of mind while providing financial support to promising eligible students through scholarships that do not have to be repaid.
