The Taiwan Fellowship Program

Overview

To encourage the experts and scholars worldwide who are interested in Taiwan, cross-strait relations, mainland China, Asia Pacific, and Sinology to conduct research in Taiwan’s universities or research institutes and promote academic exchanges, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) of Republic of China (ROC) has set up the Taiwan Fellowship Program.

Target candidates

The fellowship recipients should be foreign professors, associate professors, assistant professors, and doctoral candidates of related departments of overseas universities, and research fellows of the same level in academic institutes abroad.

Number of recipients selected

In principle, 30 recipients are selected each year.

Benefits

The granting and duration of the fellowship:

1. An economy class roundtrip ticket flying the most direct route will be provided. Tickets will not be provided to recipients who are already in Taiwan.
2. Research stipends are granted in the beginning of each month in the following two categories:
(1) Professors, associate professors, research fellows, and associate research fellows: NT$60,000.
(2) Assistant professors, assistant research fellows, and doctoral candidates: NT$50,000.
3. The minimum duration of scholarship is three months, and the maximum is one year.
4. Accident insurance of NT$ 1,000,000 is provided during the term of research in Taiwan. (This sum is also to cover the expenses incurred from the treatment of injuries.)

Applicants should submit the prepared English or Chinese documents to the ROC Embassy or Representative Office in their home countries or where their research or study is based. The documents include:

1. Application form.
2. Resume (including a publication list).
3. Research proposal (No word limits. The proposal should be well-organized, and will serve as the reference for the committee to evaluate the granting and duration of the scholarship).

Those who are currently doing research in Taiwan can submit the application to MOFA directly.

During their stay in Taiwan, the recipients should participate in the lectures or seminars related to their research topics and hosted by MOFA as speakers or discussants.
3. The recipients are not eligible to apply for the fellowship again within two years after the end of the project.
