VIII. Registration and Enrollment 1. If any information provided by an applicant or included in the application packet is

found to have been counterfeited, actually owned by another person, or tampered with, the applicant should be denied admission. If such an applicant has enrolled at ISU, his/her student registration should be canceled and no certificate issued. If he/she has graduated from ISU, the degree awarded will be nullified and the diploma revoked.

2. ISU International Student Scholarship:

Scholarship types and amounts are as follows:

(1) The scholarship amount for new international students ranges between NT$40,000

and NT$175,000 per person. The scholarship amount will be equally divided by two

and awarded in two separate semesters after being approved by the Scholarship

Committee for International Students.

(2) For continuing international students (excluding those granted or continuing to

receive the scholarship for new international students), the minimum scholarship

amount is NT$3,000 per person, up to an amount equal to the sum of the tuition and

other required fees payable. The scholarship amount will be awarded in the semester

of approval after being approved by the Scholarship Committee for International

Students.

(3) Scholarship recipients are under an obligation to do service-learning under the

supervision of the Office of International and Cross-Strait Affairs. The Office will

evaluate the recipients’ performance on service-learning at the end of every semester,

and the evaluation results will be important reference for the Scholarship Committee

for International Students to consideration of applications for (continuing to receive)

32

the scholarship.

(4) Scholarship recipients should report to the Office of International and Cross-Strait

Affairs and complete the registration process on the first day of school. The Office

will deduct the tuition, other required fees, and accommodation fees from the

scholarship amount, and then return the balance to the recipients, if any. If the

scholarship amount, however, is less than the total fees payable, recipients have to

pay for the difference.

campus during the first year of study for special reasons, he/she should not request

ISU to give him/her the scholarship amount used to offset accommodation fees as

mentioned above.

(6) A scholarship recipient will not receive the scholarship if he/she 1) does not complete

the registration process for the semester when the scholarship is awarded, 2) applies

for deferral of admission, or 3) transfers to another school. A recipient will be asked

to return the full amount of the scholarship awarded if he/she suspends the schooling

or withdraws from ISU while ISU is in session. In addition, if a recipient returns to

ISU after suspension of schooling, has obtained a personal conduct score of below

85 for the previous semester, has attendance rate below 70 percent (calculated until

the 9th week of the semester) without compelling reasons, or has had a record of

minor demerits or even severer punishment, he/she will be asked to return the full

amount of the scholarship awarded in the current semester and disqualified from

subsequent scholarships; to maintain his/her status as a student of ISU, such a student

must pay up the tuition, other required fees, and/or dormitory fees previously offset

by the scholarship.

(7) The Scholarship Committee for International Students will review scholarship
