TaiwanICDF International Higher Education Scholarship Program

About this scholarship

The TaiwanICDF International Higher Education Scholarship Program offers full scholarships for outstanding students from TaiwanICDF partner countries to pursue higher education in Taiwan. The official TaiwanICDF page states that the program works through collaborations with partner universities in Taiwan and is intended to support socioeconomic development in partner countries while strengthening internationalization at Taiwanese universities. In 2026, TaiwanICDF listed 32 programs for scholarship application and opened applications from December 1, 2025 to March 15, 2026. The award is recorded as full funding because TaiwanICDF describes the program as offering full scholarships; exact annual USD value is left null because costs and benefits vary by program, degree level, university, and scholarship guidebook rules. Applicants must complete the TaiwanICDF online application and also submit admissions documents to the selected partner university by that university's deadline. Students should read the current guidebook carefully because eligible countries, programs, documents, and embassy or office review steps vary by cycle.
