Number of low income students receiving financial aid
In 2023 (2022/2023 academic year), NCUE provided financial aid such as tuition and miscellaneous fee subsidies, scholarships, and work study student subsidies (Table 1- Table 3) to low-income students. A total of 1,049 low-income students (14% of all students) received financial aid (Figure 1). The total amount of subsidies and scholarships was NTD$30,347,353.
The details of economic assistance measures are as follows:
1. Tuition and Miscellaneous Fee Subsidies: (Please refer to Annex 1.2.1A and Annex 1.2.1B)
For students from low-income households, their entire tuition and miscellaneous fees are waived. For students from middle-to-low-income households, there is a 60% reduction in tuition and miscellaneous fees.
2. Work-Study Student Subsidies: (Please refer to Annex 1.2.1A and 1.2.1C)
Calculated based on the hourly wage standard of the Ministry of Labor’s basic wage. Wages are paid to students on an hourly basis, with a maximum of 10 hours per week during the semester and a principle of not exceeding 40 hours of work-study per month.
3. Scholarships: In order to encourage NCUE’s The Soaring Eagles Students (economically and culturally disadvantaged students) to strive for academic excellence, the university has established various scholarship and financial aid programs. Eligible students can receive these awards upon completion of their learning support activity records. (Please refer to Annex 1.2.1D, 1.2.1E, 1.2.1F, 1.2.1G)
