Taiwan Scholarship Program Taiwan Scholarship Program Steering Committee November 2007 Foreword Congratulations! You are now a recipient of a Taiwan Scholarship, which can serve as a springboard to a great career. We hope you make the most of this wonderful opportunity and we wish you success in your studies. Since 2004, four government agencies in the Republic of China (Taiwan) --- the Ministry of Education (MOE), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), and the National Science Council of the Executive Yuan (NSC) --- have jointly sponsored the Taiwan Scholarship Program to encourage outstanding international students to undertake degree programs in Taiwan. The Scholarship provides study opportunities in a wide range of disciplines at Taiwan’s best universities and colleges, including such leading fields as information technologies, international relations and business. This program aims to promote knowledge, understanding and friendship between Taiwan and countries around the world; to explore opportunities to increase academic and educational links with international institutions of higher learning; and to develop outstanding professionals and experts to meet the needs of Taiwan’s businesses and industries. Thousands of foreign students are currently studying for a degree in Taiwan, and many more have come to study Chinese. This represents a considerable number of international friends for Taiwan, while tens of thousands of your Taiwanese classmates will have the chance to befriend people from other countries and learn about other parts of the world. We believe that this is significant in terms of international cultural exchange, and we sincerely hope you will enjoy your studies in our academic institutions. This book will help you successfully adapt to studying in Taiwan as it contains all the information you need to know about enrollment procedures, program regulations, scholarship payments, general information on living in Taiwan as well as a Frequently Asked Questions section. Please remember that these guidelines are intended as a general reference and are subject to change, so check with the relevant government agency/educational institution as appropriate. Welcome to Taiwan and good luck! 1 I.
