- Application Procedures, Review, and Evaluation: Eligible applicants should submit a photocopy of their student ID (or other documents as proof, if applicable) to the relevant institute (preparatory office) or research center upon the consent of a researcher. The institute (preparatory office) or research center should review and determine the total scholarship to be granted within the aforementioned limits. The institute (preparatory office) or research center and the researcher should commit themselves to supervising the recipient, and may continue or suspend the scholarship based on the recipient’s performance. Should scholarship recipients be involved in academic ethics violations, their cases will be processed according to the “Guidelines for the Establishment and Operation of Ethics Committees at All Levels, Academia Sinica.”
- Funding Disbursal and Budget Verification: Scholarship recipients should submit receipts to their institute (preparatory office) or research center for funding disbursal and budget verification.
