The HIT Challenge Program (Student-Directed Planning Program) exists to foster a sense of initiative in students with regard to university activities, motivating them to tackle challenges and attempt new things. Students independently draw up a plan and, if it is accepted for the program after being reviewed, receive funding of up to 1 million yen. During the 2019 academic year, 10 proposals were chosen by the program and have been put into action by their respective groups.
