The Association for Overseas Technical Scholarship (AOTS) was established in 1959 with the support of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (which is the present Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) as the first cooperation organization on a private basis in Japan. Its main purpose was to promote international economic cooperation and enhance mutual economic development and friendly relations between those countries and Japan.

AOTS/HIDA Alumni Societies/Associations
