MOE Taiwan Scholarship

Description

The Taiwan Scholarship program is a joint initiative launched by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), Ministry of Education (MOE), the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) and the National Science Council (NSC) in 2004. At the Republic of China's centennial in 2011, the Taiwan Scholarship programme evolved into the MOFA Taiwan Scholarship programme and the MOE Taiwan Scholarship programme in order to cater to students of varying backgrounds.

The MOE Taiwan Scholarships continues to encourage outstanding students to pursue academic degrees in Taiwan and to deepen their understanding of Taiwan's academic environment, thereby enhancing exchanges and building friendships between Taiwan and their home nations.
