The Taiwanese American Scholarship Fund awards ten renewable $7,500-per-year scholarships (up to $30,000 over four years) to Taiwanese American high school seniors and first-year college students with financial need. Applicants must be a direct blood descendant of a Taiwanese citizen, a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and hold a minimum 3.0 unweighted GPA.
