Taiwan is a rapidly developing country and education has recently become a focus of government efforts to encourage economic growth and improve its international profile. Consequently, government funding to Universities in Taiwan is generous. Many Taiwanese Universities are actively campaigning to improve the international image of Taiwanese education by offering foreign students special subsidies. Many Universities offer foreign students scholarships and subsidies. After a student has been studying in Taiwan for one year they are also eligible for the Ministry of Education’s General Scholarship, which pays the recipient a monthly stipend to help cover living expenses. Those offers are both great, but they are not even the best that Taiwan has to offer.

In an effort to “promote knowledge, understanding and friendship between people in Taiwan and in countries around the world”, “provide opportunities to increase academic and educational links with international institutions of higher learning”, and “develop outstanding professionals and experts to meet the needs of the global society,” the government of Taiwan created the generous Taiwan Scholarship Program to encourage foreign students to study in Taiwan.

For the select few, the Taiwanese government provides scholarships that pay monthly stipends to cover the students’ living expenses. Although the scholarships cannot be used in conjunction with other subsidies (like Universities offering free tuition), they have a far greater monetary value.

Many undergraduate and graduate students from abroad are in Taiwan as this very moment studying practically for free. This article will explain how you can benefit from this tremendous opportunity.
