Scholarship information for international students interested in the Taiwan scholarship and studying in Taiwan

Taiwan’s been trying to encourage foreign students to come and study in Taiwan and the number of scholarships offered are increasing. I’m currently studying for a graduate program in NCKU-Tainan-Taiwan with the National Science Council scholarship which is considered part of the more general “Taiwan scholarship” offering 30,000NT$ (equal to about 900US$) monthly for a period of 3 years. It’s a very simple and straight-forward scholarship.

Two weeks ago, southern Taiwan orientation for the various Taiwan scholarship holders was held at NCKU with some entertainment and information given about the regulations for the Taiwan scholarship. I thought it might be interesting for others, so I took a video of most of the event.

Here’s the lecture given by the manager of the NCKU students affairs office about the regulation, going almost bullet by bullet on all the Taiwan scholarship guidelines : 

The rest of the lectures and performances given during this event are posted on the INCKU website for international students at NCKUU on “Taiwan scholarship orientation for the 2007-8 academic year“.

For more information about the general scholarships offered for studying in Taiwan, check out the Scholarships section on the “Study in Taiwan” site.
