The Ministry of Education (MOE) will offer subsidies to students living in public and private university dormitories starting in February next year. The subsidy program, supported by the Ministry of the Interior (MOI), will provide monthly subsidies ranging from NT$1200 to NT$1500. The estimated budget of NT$27.5 billion will benefit approximately 260,000 students. The subsidies will be available to all students, regardless of their financial background.
