On September 21st 2023, Ms. Yuri Hosei (8th term Xavier Scholarship Student) of Palau, Ms. Isabella Kostka (8th term APIC-MCT Scholarship Student) of Federated States of Micronesia, and Mr. Paul Charley Jr. (7th term APIC-MCT Scholarship Student) of Federated States of Micronesia entered Sophia University. Yuri and Isabella entered the undergraduate program, and Paul entered the graduate program at Sophia. Additionally, Ms. Nikita Kunar of UWI Cave Hill Campus in Barbados entered Sophia University Graduate School as the first student to take part in the newly established UWI Master's Scholarship Student Program.

Isabella is matriculating in the Faculty of Global Studies, while Yuri is matriculating in the Faculty of Humanities in the SPSF (Sophia Program for Sustainable Futures) program, which is conducted in English. They will spend the next four years pursuing their bachelor’s degree in their respective majors.

Paul and Nikita are both matriculating in Sophia University Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies and plan to spend the following two years pursuing their master’s degree.

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, six students have graduated from Sophia University under this program.

The APIC-MCT Student Scholarship Program was created upon the agreement of APIC, Sophia University, and MCT (Micronesia Conservation Trust); the program focuses on developing talent from the perspective of environmental conservation. This graduate program enrolls students from the three nations of the Micronesia region into Sophia University Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies to obtain their master’s degree in said field. Since the program’s establishment in 2017, nine students have graduated from the program.
