Six Palauan applicants will be rewarded the scholarship this year.
The Palau National Scholarship Board will administer the process of receiving the documents. It will also conduct the screening process.
The board will forward to the embassy by mid-April its recommendation for further review and subsequent transmission of the qualified applications to Taipei for final approval.
The embassy will officially announce the scholarship recipients in June.
The recipients will be provided direct roundtrip airfare between Palau and Taipei, as well as a monthly stipend of $1,000 to cover tuition, accommodations, insurance and miscellaneous fees during the duration of their schooling at a Taiwanese educational institution.
The Taiwan scholarship spans from three to five years and is for the pursuit of undergraduate, master, doctoral degrees. It also includes one year devoted to learning Mandarin.
