Scholarships
Government Scholarships
Each year, the Taiwanese government (R.O.C.) offers scholarships to international students coming to Taiwan to study through Taiwan Embassies and Taipei Representative Offices around the world. Government scholarships are generous and can often cover both the awardees’ tuition fees and living costs in Taiwan. Please visit here to check with Taiwan’s representative office in your country to learn which scholarship is applicable for your case. The most popular scholarships that IMICS students receive are MOE Taiwan Scholarships.
You can also check if your country’s government has any scholarship program to send students to study abroad.
Please note that Taiwan government scholarship programs are separate from the university's admission. In other words, you must complete both the scholarship AND the IMICS program application. In the case that you are awarded the scholarship but fail to obtain university admission, your scholarship will ultimately be cancelled. Additionally, recipients of government scholarship cannot receive other scholarships at the same time.
For your reference, please visit NCCU OIC website to learn about different possible types of Taiwan government scholarships
