We're most appreciative of the forthcoming support we have received from the Empire so far, and preliminary construction on the annex is now underway.
Even more so, we are grateful for the offer of investment - while there is no current liquidity problem, our creditors are understandably a little wary of such an involved and expensive restructuring plan.
Rather than a direct credit subsidy, we would be interested in the possibility of assisted scholarship programs. Our company itself does not have the outreach to proactively locate potential students, and our programs are admittedly out of financial reach for many of them. I'm sure there are many brilliant minds in small-town technical schools with the skills we seek but no way to even find, much less afford a course at our institution.
A program from the Ministry of Education to locate some of those minds and give them the opportunity for a term at our laboratories would be difficult to arrange for us, but a relatively minor effort for a governmental network, and would be a great boon not only to Ionic, but the future of Kusari academia, as well as giving reassurance to our credits in regards to the solidity and backing of the institution.

Thank you for your time.
