National Taiwan University (NTU) Scholarship for International Degree Students

National Taiwan University (NTU) is Taiwan’s leading university, and it offers scholarships to international degree-seeking students across undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels. The awards combine a tuition waiver with a monthly stipend, helping talented students from around the world to study in Taipei in either English-taught or Chinese-taught programmes.

Support takes the form of a tuition and miscellaneous fee waiver of up to around 65,000 New Taiwan dollars per semester, plus a monthly living stipend (commonly 8,000 to 15,000 dollars for bachelor’s and master’s students and 10,000 to 15,000 for PhD students, higher in science and engineering). Amounts vary by award and college, and the stipend is retained by meeting the grade standard each semester.

Eligibility is for international degree-seeking students admitted to NTU under Taiwan’s regulations for international students (dual-degree students are excluded), from any country, with a strong academic record (and research experience expected for master’s and PhD applicants) and the required language proficiency. The scholarship is considered automatically through the admission application: you apply for an NTU degree programme through the online system, select the scholarship option, upload your documents, and await the combined admission and scholarship result. For international students aiming at Taiwan, NTU is a strong, well-supported choice.
