For Scholarships Receiving:
- If I postpone my graduation, can I continue receiving scholarship stipends?
No, you cannot. Every scholarship has a fixed duration. Please read through the regulations for your scholarship.
- I have been awarded a scholarship with a tuition fee waiver. Do I have to pay with my own money first upon registration?
If your tuition fee is waivered, the amount on your Tuition and Fees Payment Invoice will be 0, which means that you won’t have to pay for tuition with your own money. However, you will still have to pay for accommodation, insurance and internet.
- How will the stipend be remitted?
The stipend will be remitted at the end of the month. Please refer to below link for “Steps for Scholarship Receiving”: [Scholarship Receiving]
- Can I work or do a part-time job if I am awarded a scholarship?
As long as you apply for work permit, you may work legally.
- I am about to graduate, and I still want to study at NTU for another degree. Can I automatically continue my scholarship?
No, you cannot. Once you graduate, the scholarship will be terminated.
- If I apply for a leave of absence, can I maintain my scholarship status?
No, you cannot. Scholarships are only for students who have active student status. If you are no longer an active student, the scholarship will be terminated.
- I am on a Taiwan Scholarship, but my grades do not meet the academic average as stipulated by the scholarship regulations. Will my scholarship be terminated as a result?
Recipients whose academic average for the semester falls below the passing standard set by their universities/colleges will have their scholarships suspended for a month; recipients whose academic average for the semester is below the passing standard for two consecutive semesters will have their scholarship terminated starting from the following semester.
