NTHU Fully-funded Scholarship Window Opens for 2026-2027
National Tsing Hua University has officially unlocked one of the most awaited funding announcements for international students already studying in Taiwan. The NTHU International Student Scholarship for the 2026–2027 award period is now confirmed to open its online application window, offering continued financial relief to eligible undergraduate, master’s, and PhD students enrolled in the spring semester.
This opportunity is designed to support high-performing international students with tuition assistance and monthly stipends, allowing them to focus fully on their studies without financial pressure. Successful applicants will receive funding coverage from February 2026 through January 2027, with final results expected to be released in mid-March. Due to the Chinese New Year holiday, students are advised not to pay tuition fees until scholarship outcomes are announced, as NTHU will coordinate tuition extensions directly with the Office of Academic Affairs.
Under the revised policy, students fall into two categories. International students who are not eligible for renewal must submit a full reapplication, including updated academic records and study or research plans. Those currently receiving the scholarship and progressing into PhD Years 2–4, Master’s Year 2, or select Master’s Year 3 programs in humanities, counseling psychology, and teaching Chinese as a second language may qualify for a streamlined renewal review. PhD candidates entering Year 5 must reapply and submit an Academic Performance Evaluation form.
The scholarship duration varies by academic level, making it one of the most stable funding options for continuing students at NTHU. Undergraduate students may receive support for up to four years, master’s students for up to two years, with some programs eligible for three, and PhD students for up to five years in total. For reapplying master’s and doctoral students, an advisor recommendation letter is required, while renewal candidates face reduced documentation requirements.
Applications for both reapplying and renewal review students will be submitted through the same online system, with the application link going live on December 31, 2025. The review process will run from January to March, and selected students will receive both February and March stipends together at the end of March. Given the extremely short application window, eligible students are strongly encouraged to prepare documents early and follow submission instructions carefully.
For international students aiming to secure continued funding at one of Taiwan’s top universities, this scholarship cycle represents a decisive moment. Missing the deadline means missing a full year of financial support—making timely preparation and submission absolutely critical for Spring 2026 candidates.
