Overview
The International Higher Education Scholarship Program, central to the TaiwanICDF, offers full scholarships to outstanding students from partner countries to pursue higher education in Taiwan through collaborations with local universities.
The goal is to support the socio-economic growth of partner countries through the cultivation of highly talented individuals. This programme also enhances the internationalisation of Taiwan's universities and expands Taiwanese youth's global perspective.
Since 1998, the TaiwanICDF has collaborated with partner universities in Taiwan to establish the Taiwan International Cooperation Alliance (TICA), creating an operational platform to leverage and optimise the scholarship programme under this TICA framework.
