The Scholarship Program of Taiwan
Steering Committee

I. Purpose
Since 2004, four government agencies of the Republic of China (Taiwan) --- Ministry of Education (MOE), Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), and National Science Council of the Executive Yuan (NSC) ---have jointly established the Scholarship Program of Taiwan to encourage outstanding international students to undertake degree programs in Taiwan. While providing study opportunities for a wide range of disciplines, at Taiwan’s universities and colleges, this program also aims to:

a. Promote knowledge, understanding and friendship between Taiwan and countries around the world.
b. Explore opportunities to increase academic and educational links with international institutions of higher learning.
c. Develop outstanding professionals and experts to meet the needs from Taiwan’s business and industry sectors.

II. Types of Scholarships
In terms of recipients’ nationalities and study programs, there are four participating agencies funding this program, each with a different focus:

a. MOFA Scholarship:
 Recipients from countries with diplomatic relations with the R.O.C. (Taiwan), or from those specified as diplomatically favorable by MOFA.
 Undergraduate or postgraduate programs. Pre-degree Mandarin Language Enrichment Program (LEP) is to be included as recipients’ choice for improving their language abilities.
b. MOE Scholarship:
 Recipients from countries other than those specified in the MOFA Scholarship.
 Undergraduate or postgraduate programs. LEP is to be included as recipients’ choice for improving their language abilities.
c. NSC Scholarship:
 Recipients from countries other than those specified in the MOFA Scholarship.
 Postgraduate programs.
d. MOEA Scholarship:
 Recipients from countries other than those specified in the MOFA Scholarship.
 Postgraduate programs, only for the areas involving scientific technology (such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering, medicine and agriculture to name a few)

III. Value
Scholarship offerings vary from agency to agency as outlined below:

a. MOFA Scholarship: International airfare for economy-class, direct-route and roundtrip
flights, plus a monthly stipend of NT$30,000 (approximately US$950).
b. MOE Scholarship: A monthly stipend of NT$25,000 (approximately US$790) for
undergraduate or LEP study, and NT$30,000 for a postgraduate
program.
c. NSC Scholarship: A monthly stipend of NT$30, 000.
d. MOEA Scholarship: A monthly stipend of NT$30, 000.

IV. Duration
The award period for each study program varies as follows:

a. Undergraduate program: maximum 4 years.
b. Master’s program: maximum 2 years.
c. Doctoral program: maximum 3 years.
d. LEP program: maximum 1 year.

For any combination of these study programs, the length of the total award for each recipient
is a maximum of five years. LEP study must be undertaken in the first year, if it is to be included in the total award period of the recipient’s choosing.
Annual award periods are from September 1st through August 31st. If recipients fail to
arrive in Taiwan to study during this period, their award status will be cancelled and cannot be extended for another year. If recipients begin studies after the semester/term/quarter starts, their award period will become effective from the month they arrive in Taiwan to matriculate at their individual universities/colleges/Mandarin training centers. Whether beginning in September or later, the LEP award period ends in August although its length may be less than the specified maximum of one year.
In terms of the actual award period for one study program, it will begin from the month that
recipients arrive in Taiwan to matriculate at their intended educational institutions. All awards will end the month their specified award period is completed. However, if recipients graduate, drop out, are expelled from their institutions, or their scholarships are revoked, whichever comes first, the award will be terminated.
