First Review: The ROC (Taiwan) Embassy/ Consulate (General)/ Representative Office/ Taiwan Technical Mission or project representative will conduct the first review of applicants based on the eligibility requirements and selection criteria of the Taiwan ICDF, and then submit their list of recommended applicants to the Taiwan ICDF no later than 31 March 2019

Second Round: A second review of the qualified applicants will be conducted by an academic committee organized by the individual partner university in joint cooperation with Taiwan ICDF representatives. Such reviews will be based on each university’s selection criteria, whilst also accounting for the eligibility requirements and selection criteria of the Taiwan ICDF.

After the second review has been conducted in cooperation with all partner universities, the Taiwan ICDF will announce its list of scholarship recipients, in principle, no later than 30 June 2019.
