Key Operational Summary

  • Funding Benefits: Monthly living stipend of NTD 15,000 for undergraduate students, and NTD 20,000 for master's and doctoral students. Tuition and miscellaneous fees are subsidized up to NTD 40,000 per semester.
  • Award Duration: Maximum 4 years for Bachelor's, 2 years for Master's, and 4 years for Doctoral programs (with a cumulative maximum total of 5 years across all degree levels).
  • Academic Maintenance: Postgraduate students must maintain an academic average of at least 80/100 each semester. Falling below standard leads to a 1-month stipend suspension, and consecutive failures lead to permanent revocation.
  • ARC Requirement: Recipients must submit an Alien Resident Certificate (ARC) explicitly stating "Pursuing Studies" during registration every semester.
