Dear FSE/ Fulbright grantees and applicants:

You may be aware of the current US government shut-down due to a congressional budget impasse.

Please be assured that the shut-down will have no impact on FSE or Fulbright Taiwan office operations and scholarships. In addition, regular support from the Institute for International Education (IIE), which administers Fulbright awards in the United States, is also unaffected.

Deadlines for US student applications (October 7), Taiwan scholar / professional applications and Mandarin Teaching Plan Competition (October 31) will not be extended, and will be managed according to regular procedures.

Please find more details about the applications:

US students (October 7): https://us.fulbrightonline.org/countries/east-asia-pacific/taiwan

Taiwan scholars/ professionals (October 31)

Mandarin Teaching Plan Competition (October 31)

We encourage the applicants to stay focused on your preparations and wish you every success in the selection process.
