Tamkang University Incoming Exchange Students Scholarship

  1. This scholarship was initiated to encourage students from Tamkang University’s (TKU) partner universities to study at TKU, and to enhance the academic cooperation between TKU and partner universities as well as promote the university’s internationalization.
  2. Funding: Each student will receive NT $10,000 per semester, up to one academic year.
  3. Quota: The number of scholarships granted may vary according to the university’s annual budget.
  4. Application eligibility:
    This scholarship is open to the exchange students from the partner universities that have had an established academic collaboration agreement with TKU, but not applicable to the students from Mainland China partner universities. To be eligible, undergraduate students must maintain an average academic grade of 65 or above (or GPA 2.5); graduate students must maintain an average academic grade of 75 or above (or GPA 3). Students must also display good conduct and keep a clean behavioral record.
    For new students, the scholarship is open for application when students apply for admission to TKU. For students who have enrolled in TKU, they can send in their scholarship applications three weeks before the final examination week in the first semester and the application deadline is one week before the final examination.
  5. Required documents:
    Application Form
    Official academic transcript from home institution. (Students currently studying at TKU do not need to hand in. TKU will collect students’ transcripts from the Office of Academic Affairs.)
  6. Applicants must view participation in “Chat Corner” as a priority in the period in which they are receiving the scholarship.
  7. Based on the principle of equal reciprocity, if partner universities grant scholarships to exchange students from TKU, the latter will respond in kind by apportioning an equivalent number of scholarships to exchange students from such universities. The remaining scholarship places will then be open for regular scholarship applications.
  8. All scholarship applications and their supporting documents will be evaluated by the Overseas Student Scholarship Review Committee.
  9. The above regulations take effect from the date of their promulgation, after being approved by the International and Exchange Student Committee. The same applies to any amendments made thereafter.
