Subsidy plan to aid 275,000 Taiwanese students
Taiwan’s Premier Chen Chien-jen has approved a subsidy plan for university students, providing NT$5,000 per semester for on-campus students and NT$7,000 per semester for disadvantaged students. The plan, discussed in a joint meeting between the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of the Interior, will be implemented starting in February 2024. Originally, the plan called for monthly payments, but it was decided that a per-semester scheme would be more appropriate. The subsidies will be adjusted to a standard NT$5,000 per semester, with an additional NT$2,000 for disadvantaged students, and will become routine remittances. The cost of the plan is projected to be nearly NT$2.8 billion annually, paid from the Ministry of the Interior’s housing fund. Approximately 275,000 university students are expected to benefit from this plan, pending ratification at the upcoming Executive Yuan meeting. Premier Chen emphasized that the government is strategically committed to enhancing support and well-being for the nation’s university students.2023/11/19 15:54 -
