The Taiwan-United States Sister Relations Alliance
(TUSA) is pleased to announce that ‘Ambassador’ Scholarships are again being
offered to U.S. college students during the summer of 2014. The purpose
of the program is to provide instruction in Mandarin Chinese and to acquaint
students with the rich culture of Taiwan.
The program’s aim is to provide opportunities to those eager to pursue overseas immersion in the Mandarin language and Taiwanese culture. The class is open to all levels of proficiency in Chinese language, and a special section this year will accommodate individuals who are at advanced levels of Mandarin studies. Accepted students will be enrolled in the Chinese Language Center at the National Cheng Kung University in Tainan City, Taiwan. The university is recognized as one of the two top institutions of higher education in Taiwan.
Applications should be submitted on line at www.taiwanusalliance.com. Documents must be at our office no later than February 15, 2014, for an early admission decision, or by March 31, 2014, for final consideration. Announcement of scholarship awardees will be made on February 25th for early admission applicants, and by April 10th for all others. Applicants who are unsuccessful in the early decision round will be re-evaluated in the second application round.
The 2013 TUSA program starts July 1st and ends August 22nd. A stipend of NT $25,000 (~US $800) per month for two months (July & August) will be awarded to each scholarship recipient. The scholarship is budgeted to cover tuition, dormitory fees, all program-related travel and excursions, and accident/outpatient health insurance. The Taiwan Ministry of Education sponsors the program and a total of 50 ‘Ambassador’ students will be accepted for the 2014 class.
