Applicants for the autumn intake scholarship must submit application documents to the Admissions Office of the International Students Center on May 30 each year. Applicants for the spring intake scholarship must submit application documents to the same office before December 10 each year. Late applications will not be accepted.

The International Students Center organizes the preliminary selection, reviews the documents received, and forwards the documents of applicants who pass the preliminary selection to the university’s Scholarship Review Committee for assessment. The final list is then determined and publicly announced. At the end of the first semester, the International Students Center must review recipients’ academic results, attitude toward learning, and conduct. Students who fail any course during the first semester, accumulate 20 class hours of absence, including sick leave, personal leave, and unexcused absence, miss an examination, cheat in an examination, or receive a disciplinary warning or a more severe penalty may not receive the new-student scholarship for the second semester. Students who pass the review will continue receiving it for the second semester.
