The Penglai Scholarships allow two students or young professionals - a national of Taiwan and a national of a lower-income developing country - to pursue a one-year advanced master's programme at the WTI.

 

The Penglai Scholarships are funded by the Permanent Mission to the WTO of the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu. One of the Penglai Scholarships will be awarded to a national of Taiwan, and one will be awarded to a national of a lower-income developing country.

 

To be considered for the Penglai Scholarships, candidates must be admitted to one of the WTI’s advanced master’s programme, fulfilling all academic and language requirements.

 

The Executive Committee of the GIA will decide on the award of the Penglai Scholarships on the advice of the Penglai Scholarship Committee.

 

The recipient of a Penglai Scholarship shall maintain a minimum average grade of 5 during each of the two semesters of instruction of the MILE or TRAIL+ programme. Failure to keep this average grade may result in the withdrawal of the Penglai Scholarship. The recipient of a Penglai Scholarship shall also be involved in scientific research conducted at the WTI.
