Frequently Asked Questions on Taiwan Scholarship:

 

  • Stipend Payments

In principle, stipends are paid before the fifth day of each month, through the universities/ colleges that the recipients attend, by means specified by the individual institutions.

It is mandatory that recipients participate in the National Health Insurance Plan and purchase a Student Accident Insurance policy while resident in Taiwan. The recipient’s educational institutions will deduct fees for these insurance plans from the stipends before they are paid.

 

As a requirement for matriculation at their intended educational institutions, before departure to Taiwan recipients must purchase medical/health insurance valid for a minimum of four months from the arrival date in Taiwan. This insurance policy must be authenticated by one of Taiwan’s overseas representative offices.

 

  • Does the program begin and end on two specified dates?

 

The actual award period begins from the month that you matriculate at your intended institution and ends in the month of program completion. However, the award will be terminated immediately if you drop out, are expelled, have the scholarship revoked or graduate early.

 

  • Can I extend the duration of the scholarship?

No, you cannot extend the duration of the scholarship. Additional study may be taken at your own expense. If so, proof of funds must be provided to your scholarship agency and school.

 

  • Can I re-apply for the Taiwan Scholarship after completing a program?

Yes, you can re-apply for a Taiwan Scholarship for another degree program as long as the total award period does not exceed 5 years.

 

  • What are the grading criteria to review my award qualification?

 

Each academic institution may follow the common standard, which is 70% for postgraduate students, or set a different minimum passing grade.

 

  • When will I receive the Certificate of Scholarship? What is it for?

 

In principle, all recipients will receive one copy of the Certificate of Scholarship from a Taiwanese embassy or representative office before arriving in Taiwan. The certificate is used as a personal financial statement for applying for schools and for obtaining an Alien Resident Certificate (ARC).

 

  • In what situations will the scholarship and remaining stipends be cancelled?

A recipient may be permanently disqualified from receiving the scholarship and stipends if s/he:

1. Concurrently receives another scholarship from a government agency or educational institution in Taiwan.

2. Fails to pass the annual evaluation for scholarship renewal.

3. Drops out or is expelled from school.

 

  • When and how do I apply for a university/college?

 

Applications are usually accepted between February and April for that year. Please go to http://www.studyintaiwan.org for detailed information about universities and colleges in Taiwan.

 

  • How do I decide on my major?

 

This is of your choice. However, please take language level and cost of tuition into consideration when choosing school and courses.

 

  • When will I find out if I am accepted by the university/college?

 

Decisions on applications are usually sent between May and July.
