Overview of the

International Higher
Education Scholarship
Program

International education and training has always been one of the core operations
among the TaiwanICDF’s many functions. Human resource development programs
play a vital role in assisting partner countries achieve sustainable development, and
education is one of the crucial mechanisms in training workforces in developing
countries. When the TaiwanICDF implements any cooperation project, it pays
attention to education and training for program sustainability. The TaiwanICDF does
this to ensure that its work will result in tangible long-term benefits and help as many
people as possible.

The TaiwanICDF’s early human resource training programs consisted primarily of

short- term workshops with specialized topics. These workshops focused on the most
relevant and advantageous elements of Taiwan’s development, transmitting Taiwan’s
successful experiences to government officials and professionals of Taiwan’s
diplomatic allies.

The plan to promote the TaiwanICDF Scholarship Program was first started with the
intent to train agricultural professionals. This was later extended to other research
fields to diversify the overall scholarship program. As of 2019, the TaiwanICDF has
been cooperating with 21 universities in 35 programs of study as follows:
