Taiwan Collaboration Fund
Administered by OALC, this Scheme aims to subsidise full-time CUHK students participating in short-term internship or learning programmes which take place in Taiwan and are coordinated by OALC. Each successful applicant will receive a subsidy of the travel cost for the programme up to $2,000, and will be able to benefit from the Scheme once only during their entire period of study. Due to limited funding and quota, applications are NOT guaranteed to be successful. OALC will accept applications from those CUHK full-time students who:
- participated in the student interflow activities to Taiwan coordinated by our Office (except those students with airfare already supported by Taiwan organisers);
- followed OALC's instructions when buying the flight tickets;
- fulfilled the programme requirements set by the host university / organisation and those by OALC (including but not limited to submission of sharing / reflection articles, photos, videos and questionnaires to OALC within one week upon programme completion, details of which will be announced at our pre-departure briefing session); AND
- submitted required supporting documents (including but not limited to original copies of flight ticket receipts and boarding passes; electronic copies must be submitted together with a signed declaration; photocopies or late submissions will NOT be accepted) within one week upon programme completion.
