In 2004, four government agencies of the Republic of China (Taiwan) — Ministry of Education (MOE), Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), and National Science Council of the Executive Yuan (NSC) —jointly established the Taiwan Scholarship Program to encourage outstanding international students to undertake degree programs in Taiwan. While providing study opportunities for a wide range of disciplines, at Taiwan’s universities and colleges, this program also aims to:
a. Promote knowledge, understanding and friendship between people in Taiwan and in countries around the world.
b. Provide opportunities to increase academic and educational links with international institutions of higher learning.
c. Develop outstanding professionals and experts to meet the needs of the global society.
II. Funding Government Agencies of Taiwan Scholarships and their focuses

a. MOFA Scholarship:
ô€ º Recipients from countries that have diplomatic relations with the R.O.C. (Taiwan) or countries specified as diplomatically favorable by MOFA.
ô€ º Undergraduate and/or postgraduate degree programs. Embassies of the R.O.C. can also award a pre-degree Mandarin

IV. Duration of Award
Award period in terms of study programs
The award period for each degree/study program is as follows:
3
a. Undergraduate program: maximum 4 years.
b. Master’s program: maximum 2 years.
c. Doctoral program: maximum 3 years.
d. LEP: maximum 1 year.
Maximum duration of combination of awards
Upon completion of a LEP or a degree program, a recipient may apply for a scholarship for a degree program leading to a higher degree. However, the total duration of award for any combination of degree/study programs is a maximum of five years.
LEP award
The LEP award is neither mandatory nor automatically granted; it has to be awarded by R.O.C. Embassies or Representative Offices where the applicant submitted his/her application. LEP must be undertaken in the first year if it is included in the total award period.
Annual Award Period
Annual award periods are from September 1 through August 31 of the following year. Recipients must matriculate within the award period unless approved by the receiving institution and the scholarship funding government agency. If recipients fail to arrive in Taiwan to study during this period, their award status will be cancelled and cannot be extended for another year.
If recipients begin their study after the intended study term/quarter has started, their award period will become effective from the month they matriculate at their universities/colleges or Mandarin training centers in Taiwan.
Expiration of Award
No matter if a recipient begins undertaking the language training courses in September or later, the LEP award period expires on August 31, even if its duration may be less than the designated one year period.
All awards will end by the last month of their specified award period. However, if recipients graduate, drop out, are expelled from their institutions, violate R.O.C. laws, are given any major demerits, or their scholarships are revoked, whichever comes first, the award will be terminated.
