Master's Degree Program Award: National Chengchi University Award in Asia-Pacific Studies

Awards are available to pursue a full-time Master's degree in Asia-Pacific Studies (IMAS) at National Chengchi University (NCCU) in Taiwan. The program is taught in English and is Taiwan's first English-taught master's program in Asia-Pacific Studies. The majority of IMAS courses focus on either Taiwan or mainland China and fall under one of three disciplinary tracks: political economy, socio-cultural studies, or cross-strait/international relations. NCCU is a leading university in Taiwan, especially in the fields of humanities, social sciences, management, politics, and international affairs, and provides a top international environment to foreign students. The grant is co-sponsored by National Chengchi University and initially awarded for 12 months, with renewal for the second year dependent upon the grantee's academic success with a minimum GPA of 3.0 (B) on a 4.0 scale. The grant provides recipients with full tuition support, housing in a student dormitory, round-trip airfare, a monthly living allowance, and national health insurance.
