NYCU International Student Scholarship

The NYCU International Student Scholarship for Master's study is handled through NYCU's international admissions process. Incoming students apply for scholarship consideration together with their degree application. NYCU states that monthly stipends and tuition awards may be granted together or separately, and scholarship continuation depends on academic performance and annual review.
