In addition to undergraduate (4 years), master (2 years) and doctoral (4 years) programmes, the Taiwan Scholarship Programmes also offer a 4-year postgraduate programme for medicine specially designed for international students.
More than 110 Vincentians have been awarded the scholarships since their inception. Last year, there were 16 scholarship awardees.
The deadline for the Taiwan ICDF Scholarship is March 17 and March 31 for the MOFA scholarship.
