Lok-an
Taiwanese Grants
The grants were established in 2002 by Taiwan’s Lok-an Hospital and the
Association of Taiwanese Romanization. The purpose of the grant is to
promote the comparative studies of Vietnam and Taiwan and thus further
enhance the cultural and academic exchange between the two countries. The grant founders will accomplish the purpose in two ways. First, to assist Vietnamese students in completing their theses (BA or MA) or dissertations (Ph.D) on Taiwan-Vietnam related issues. Second, to provide financial support for Vietnamese scholars to publish their research works with regard to Taiwanese studies. The maximum number of grantees and amount of grants provided for year 2003 for Vietnamese students and scholars are as follows:
Grant guidelines
All
applicants seeking support from the Lok-an Taiwanese Grants must meet the
following requirements. The requirements are divided into two sections
according to the categories of grants. Please read the right section as
you desire to apply for.
For
the student
thesis/dissertation support 1)
Applicants’ proposal of thesis/dissertation must be related to
Taiwanese studies or comparative studies of Taiwan and Vietnam in any
areas, such as language, literature, history, culture, society and
economics. Priority will be given to humanity subjects. Please note that
Chinese studies are NOT considered as Taiwanese studies since we have very
limited funding, and thus cannot support so many research projects. 2)
All applicants must have citizenship of the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam and currently are enrolled in the universities of Vietnam or
Taiwan. 3)
Applicants’ proposal of thesis/dissertation must have been
officially approved by their committee or department. (PS. Applicants may
submit their application before their thesis/dissertation is approved;
however, applicants with approved proposal will be given greater
consideration. If conditionally accepted, the grantee has to supply the
proof of approval in one year in order to receive the grant. The grnt will

held until the grantee’s thesis/dissertation is completed and approved
by his/her committee.
For
the scholarly publication support 1)
Applicants’ proposed publication must be related to Taiwanese
studies or comparative studies of Taiwan and Vietnam in any areas, such as
language, literature, history, culture, society and economics. Priority

NOT considered as Taiwanese studies since we have very limited funding,
and thus cannot support so many research projects. 2)
Applicants’ proposed publication must be original works of the
applicants and have not been published anywhere before. 3)
The amount of grants will be given on the basis of publication
rather then the number of authors, in the case if the publication is

Vietnam, but their proposed publication must be written in Vietnamese or
Taiwanese (DO NOT include Chinese or English), and must be published in
Vietnam or Taiwan once they accept the grant. 5)
