On April 19, 2017, a ceremony was held to present a Notification of Scholarship for Students with Excellent Academic Performance.

Since 2010, as part of Gifu University Fund-financed activities, Gifu University awards a scholarship to model students with hard-working, excellent academic performance in order to support their academic achievement and foster excellent students. The university awards the scholarship to students who are academically diligent and possess good character. At recommendations from the faculties and the graduate schools, 24 students were selected to receive the notifications.

In the ceremony, President Hisataka Moriwaki handed the notification to each student and spoke to them as follows; "I hope that you all understand the purposes of scholarship financed by Gifu University Fund. Please study hard and enjoy fulfilling campus life. Your scholarship will be of great help to your studies at Gifu University."

On behalf of the students, Ms. Narumi Mizuno of Nursing Course, the School of Medicine expressed her wish and said, "We will never forget that the scholarship is made of donations from the teaching and administrative staff and alumni of Gifu University, and also from the general public. With this in mind, we will continue to devote ourselves to our studies and research activities at Gifu University in the days to come."
