On September 22nd, 2020, Ms. Ampelina Maikal Johnson and Mr. Kato Remeliik started their undergraduate journey at Sophia University as 7th term Xavier Scholarship Students.

Ms. Johnson entered the Faculty of Human Sciences, and aims to get her degree in the newly-established all-English “Sophia Program for Sustainable Futures”. Mr. Remeliik matriculated in the Faculty of Liberal Arts; both students plan to spend the next four years at Sophia University to attain their respective degrees.

The Xavier Student Scholarship Program was established in 2014 between Xavier High School (located in the Federated States of Micronesia), APIC, and Sophia University, allowing exchange students from Xavier High School to study at Sophia University in Tokyo. To date, nine students have matriculated at Sophia University thanks to the Scholarship, and three students have graduated from Sophia University through APIC's program.

Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sophia University has gone completely online with its classes for the spring and fall semesters of 2020. Exchange students are no exception, as they are taking online classes from either their home country or from the Sophia dorms in Japan.
