Huayu Enrichment Scholarship

The MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Huayu Enrichment Scholarship (HES), is a competitively awarded international scholarship for studying the Mandarin language in Taiwan. The award is not limited to countries with diplomatic ties with Taiwan.[1]

Huayu Scholars may study at any university or college-affiliated Mandarin training center. The scholarship may be awarded for a maximum of one year; although applications for shorter study periods of three, six and nine months are accepted.

Scholars receive a monthly maintenance stipend of NT$25,000 to cover accommodation and living expenses.

The 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.
