Key Operational Summary

Monthly Stipend: Provides a monthly living allowance of NTD 28,000 (applicable from the 2025 academic year onwards, including summer courses).
Scholarship Durations: Available for a 2-month summer course (in June/July or July/August), or regular study periods of 3, 6, 9 months, or 1 year.
Course Hours & Attendance: Recipients must take at least 15 hours of required language classes each week. Missing 12 hours or more of required classes in a single month will lead to a 1-month stipend suspension.
TOCFL & Academic Standards: Recipients with an award period of 9 months or longer must take the TOCFL test at Band B Level 3 or higher and submit the score certificate; failure to do so results in a 1-month stipend suspension. For durations of 6 months or longer, an average academic mark below 80 will result in suspension or revocation.
