Master's Degree Program Awards: National Taiwan Normal University Award in Translation and Interpretation

This Fulbright award provides funding to pursue a full-time Master's Degree in Translation and Interpretation at National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU). The Graduate Institute of Translation and Interpretation at NTNU is regarded as one of the finest programs of its kind in the world, with an acceptance rate of roughly 9%.
