Hi All,
I am forwarding an information which I thought would be useful for those who are willing to apply for a phd program in Taiwan.
"Academia Sinica, the preeminent research institution in Taiwan , is pleased to announce that its Taiwan International Graduate Program is now accepting applications for the 2008-2009 academic year.
In 2002, Academia Sinica established the ?Taiwan International Graduate Program? (TIGP), a Ph.D. granting program in cooperation with the most prestigious national universities in Taiwan . Currently, it offers eight Ph.D. programs and those who successfully complete the academic requirements will be conferred a Ph.D. degree by the partner university and a certificate jointly signed by the President of Academia Sinica and the Director of TIGP. Students in this Program will conduct research in a highly stimulating environment with excellent facilities. All students admitted to the Program are responsible for the payment of tuition fees to their registered university (about US$1500-2000 per year) upon registration. In addition, financial support is guaranteed for students with a good standing in the Program. A fellowship of approximately USD 970/month will be granted to each student admitted to the program for up to 3 years. Afterwards, continuous financial support will be provided by the advisor of each student. Inexpensive and convenient housing is also available to students."
