For more information about Taiwan Fellowships & Scholarships (TAFS) program, please visit the TAFS website.

Jane Goodall IPSD Scholarship of CJCU
(The number of scholarship slots available each academic year will be adjusted based on the school's budget. Once the slots are filled, applications will only be accepted from self-funded students. We encourage self-funded students to apply enthusiastically!)
This scholarship is offered to eligible IPSD students who have financial needs and are recommended by the JGI for their experiences in Roots and Shoots programs (see above for obtaining recommendation letters from the JGI). It includes a tuition waiver and free on-campus accommodations. Please note that expenditures associated with visa application, airfare, transportation, food, healthcare, and other living costs are not covered.
- Letter(s) of recommendation from the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) is required for Jane Goodall's IPSD Scholarship.
- Students shall obtain their recommendation letters from a JGI regional office.
- Should no JGI regional office be available, students may send the following information: (1) personal statement; (2) Roots & Shoots action plan; to Executive Director Kok, Kelly by mail to The Jane Goodall Institute-Taiwan: 3F, No. 9, Lane 75, Yongkang Street, Da An District, Taipei City 106, Taiwan, or by email to jgi.taiwan@gmail.com.
Service Assistantship
(Not a guaranteed grant, subject to be adjusted according to the school's annual budget)
We believe students from all economic backgrounds should have access to higher educational opportunities. This assistantship is intended to help IPSD students with their living expenses, under the condition that their average grades pass a minimum of 60 points. Students from countries on the United Nation’s list of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) can have an opportunity to apply for the Service Assistantship. Other students not from the LDCs need to prepare a low-income household statement issued by the government of the origin country, proof of disability (National Disabled Identification Card), or other proof of financial hardship. Duties vary depending on administrative needs. The stipend rate is a maximum of 4500 NTD (around 150 USD) per month, roughly equivalent to the minimum monthly cost of food in Tainan City.
