The Inamori-Kyocera Western Development Scholarship Fund was set up in 2001 with 1 million US dollars donated to the China Foundation of Peace and Development by Kyocera and its founder, Kazuo Inamori. The fund fosters individuals capable of contributing to regional development through science and technology, and assists economically disadvantaged university students in China's western provinces who show both outstanding academic achievement and high moral character. Scholarships are granted to about 200 students at 12 universities each year. As of 2024, the number of students who have received the scholarship totaled 5,239.

For over three decades, Kyocera International, Inc. (U.S.A.) has had the honor of awarding Kyocera Japanese Scholarships to talented students at San Diego State University who are dedicated to the study of the Japanese language and culture.

Since 2013, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has implemented "TOBITATE! NEXT JAPAN" - a public-private overseas study program aimed at nurturing human resources with a global perspective to succeed in the modern world. Kyocera supports these activities to highlight the value of studying abroad to society and foster momentum for study abroad in Japan with the hope that capable and motivated young people develop into human resources fully willing and able to contribute to society. In March 2025, for the first time in five years, Kyocera members participated in the "Tobitate! (Leap for Tomorrow) Study Abroad Initiative" report meeting as judges representing the company. A total of 31 international students, including 16 in the high school category and 15 in the university category, spoke with emotion about their growth through studying abroad and described their future goals.
