Purpose
The Ministry of Education (MOE) in the Republic of China (Taiwan) established the
Huayu Enrichment Scholarship (HES) program to encourage international students
(except Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao SAR students) to undertake Mandarin
language courses in the Republic of China (Taiwan), to provide opportunities to increase
understanding of Taiwanese culture and society, and to promote mutual understanding
and interactions between Taiwan and the international community.
The scholarship application and selection procedures will be conducted by the Education
Division, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Boston (TECO-Boston), the branch
office of the MOE in the New England region including Maine, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
Award Value
A monthly stipend of NT $25,000 (Exchange Rate (Approx.): 31 NTD=1 USD)
Duration
HES awards students taking Mandarin language courses including short term classes
which may last 2, 3, 6, 9 months or one full year respectively, depending on the award
availability. In principle, the duration of the scholarship is from September 1, 2023 to
August 31, 2024 (except for Summer session typically from July to August). If
recipients fail to arrive in Taiwan for enrollment during the above stated period, they will
forfeit their right to retain their scholarship. Scholarship funding will become effective on
the date of the recipient’s enrollment. Scholarship funding will end on the month of the
expiration of the scholarship or if the scholarship is revoked.
