The Kumura Scholarship Program of the Teijin Scholarship Foundation was established to honor the accomplishments of Seita Kumura, who is known as the "father of Japan's synthetic fiber industry" for his independent efforts to establish manufacturing technologies for rayon. Started in 1953, this scholarship program aims to pass on and advance the innovative spirit for research and development of Mr. Kumura while cultivating young scientists and engineers who will contribute to national and social development and culture creation. In 1954, a foundation was established to further develop the scholarship program, and in 2011, this foundation was reorganized into the Teijin Scholarship Foundation that continues to operate to this day.

The All Japan High School Soccer Tournament has been held for more than 100 years, with the first tournament held in 1917, making it one of the most historically significant tournaments in Japanese high school sports. Since the tournament takes place from the end of the year to the start of the next year, it has become a "winter tradition" that is loved by many fans. Many players who have participated in the tournament have gone on to play soccer globally. The Teijin Group has been a sponsor of the All Japan High School Soccer Tournament since 1991. Through our sponsorship, we have been donating soccer balls made from the Group's artificial leather Cordley® to high schools that have won regional competitions to participate in the tournament.
