5. Off-Campus Housing Subsidy

(1)To further assist financially disadvantaged students, it is ensured that government and school subsidies are provided to students from families whose household income is among the bottom 40%, students from low-income households and low-middle-income households, or financially disadvantaged students. Each such student receives NT$2,400-3,600 per month, depending on their county/city. The subsidy also covers the rental of six months per semester; specifically, from August to the next January for the first semester and from February to July for the second semester. In 2022, 81 students received the subsidy, amounting to NT$1,065,080 in total.
