Introduction to the Ministry of Education Huayu Scholarship (HES) •Purpose of HES To encourage international students and individuals to undertake Mandarin Chinese language study in Taiwan, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China (Taiwan) established the MINISTRY OF EDUCATION HUAYU ENRICHMENT SCHOLARSHIP (HES) Program in 2005. While providing language study opportunities for Mandarin Chinese and to learn about Taiwan's culture at university or college-affiliated Mandarin training centers, this program also aims to: •Help scholarship recipients acquire a better command of Mandarin Chinese, and hence a greater understanding and appreciation of Taiwan's culture; •Promote friendship between people in Taiwan and in countries around the world; and •Generate opportunities to increase exchange with international educational institutions. •Scholarship quotas and designated offices In the year 2011, 11 one-year HES quotas will be available for US citizens from the Southwest areas of the USA. Applicants who have a permanent address or are currently enrolling or have been enrolled within the past 3 years full-time in a university located in the following areas: Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, Hawaii, Caroline Islands, Guam, Marshall Islands, Mariana Islands, and American Samoa, please contact or submit your application to: Cultural Division Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Los Angeles 3731 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 770 Los Angeles, CA 90010 Ms. Emily Shen at cdla@tw.org •How long is the award period? The following are five options for a recipient to choose from, regarding the award periods, however, the final award period will be decided by your Taiwan Representative Offices: •Twelve months •Nine months •Six months •Three months •Two months (summer program) in July and August of 2011. For those who are awarded 3 to 12 months, their award period is between September 1, 2011 and August 31, 2012. If recipients fail to undertake their study in Taiwan during this period, their award status will be cancelled and cannot be extended for another year. Recipients should be matriculated for the study term/quarter at the individual Mandarin training center as specified in the award. Recipients can defer their matriculation if approved by the Mandarin training center and the Ministry of Education; in any case, the yearly award period expires on August 31, 2012. If recipients fail to come to Taiwan for enrollment during the above time, they will forfeit their right to retain their scholarships. Scholarship funding will become effective on the date of the recipient’s enrollment. Scholarship funding will end on the month of the expiration of the scholarship, as soon as a recipient drops out, is expelled from a language training center, or if the scholarship is revoked, whichever comes first. •What are the benefits? -1- A stipend of NT$25,000 (approximately US$900, subject to exchange rate) is to be offered to the recipient per month. Please note that no additional subsidy will be given. The benefits should be used to cover the entire cost of tuition, as well as providing for room, board, insurance and miscellaneous fees. Recipients are responsible for their own expenses. Stipends will be awarded monthly based on the students’ attendance records and academic performance and are normally but not mandatorily disbursed by the 15th day of each month through the Mandarin training centers where the recipients attend classes, either by directly depositing into the recipient’s bank account or other method as specified by the individual institutions. -2- Applicants in Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, Hawaii, please submit your completed application materials to the Cultural Division, TECO in Los Angeles 3731 Wilshire Bl. #770, Los Angeles, CA 90010 教育部華語文獎學金申請表 Application Form for ROC (Taiwan) Ministry of Education Huayu Enrichment Scholarship 2011-12 INSTRUCTIONS: This application form should be typed and completed by the applicant.
