1. NCUE gives free meal coupons to economically disadvantaged students to solve student hunger problems.
NCUE recognises that some students face difficulties in their lives (e.g. low income, family issues, emergencies) that can lead to them going hungry. NCUE encourages students to apply for the Jin-Pyng Wang Emergency Bursary and Meal Coupons for Students under Poverty Line. This program provides students in difficulty with free meal coupons so they can focus on their studies rather than worrying about how they will afford to eat.
The application forms for the free meal coupons are available on NCUE’s website. Students can use the coupons at any counter in the student cafeterias to select from a variety of nutritionally balanced foods. In 2021, 164 students received free meal coupons at a cost to NCUE of only 745,839 NTD.
