The Taiwanese diplomatic mission in Port-au-Prince has unveiled two comprehensive scholarship programs for Haitian students seeking international education opportunities during the 2026 academic year. This initiative represents a significant expansion of educational cooperation between Taiwan and Haiti.
Prospective applicants can choose between the MOFA Taiwan Scholarship Program, available in both General Subjects and Public Health specializations, and the ICDF International Higher Education Scholarship Program. These initiatives cater to students pursuing undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral studies, creating multiple pathways for academic advancement.
The General Subjects scholarship under the MOFA program offers Mandarin language instruction during the first year of study, accommodating students’ linguistic preferences. Conversely, the Public Health specialization and ICDF program deliver curriculum exclusively in English, eliminating language barriers for Haitian scholars.
A critical requirement mandates that candidates select only one scholarship program, with applications violating this policy facing automatic disqualification. The application window remains open until February 27, 2026, requiring physical submission at the Taiwanese Embassy in Haiti.
Comprehensive eligibility criteria and detailed application procedures have been published on the embassy’s official portal (https://www.roc-taiwan.org/ht_fr/cat/20.html), with dedicated documentation available for each program. This transparency ensures applicants can make informed decisions regarding their academic future.
This educational partnership reinforces Taiwan’s commitment to fostering international academic exchange and supporting human capital development in Haiti through accessible higher education opportunities.
