“The Taiwan ICDF will provide every scholarship recipient a round trip air ticket, housing, tuition, text books cost, insurance and all the scholarship programs will be taught in English. This is a very meaningful scholarship program because it cannot only enhance the people to people diplomacy between Taiwan and Belize; it can also enhance bilateral relations between our two countries. I think if you want to broaden your horizon maybe you can try to pursue your studies aboard and I think Taiwan is a very good choice. Taiwan is in the heart of Asia. We have expertise in different areas for example, in health and medicine, IT industry and also business management. So I think for people who want to broaden their skills or their horizon, the students who want to pursue further studies abroad, I Belize that Taiwan is a very nice choice.”

The deadline to submit applications is March fifteenth.  More information can be found at www.taiwanembassy.org/bz
