The Republic of Taiwan has supported the studies of young Dominicans overseas since 1999. Yesterday ambassador Isaac Tsai gave the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology a donation of one million dollars (US$1 million).
Minister Ligia Amada Melo said that most scholarship students return and almost all find work. She said that the young people who do not return usually remain overseas in order to continue their studies at a higher level.
She said "these are successful professional people who are fulfilling the objectives of the program by contributing to the economic and social development of the country."
The Minister of Higher Education said that more than 8,000 students have benefited from the program and this year's goal is for 1,300 students to take part in academic studies abroad.
Ambassador Tsai said that 1,447 of these students have studied with scholarships from his country, and the million dollars was the twelfth disbursement made by Taiwan since 1999 when the bi-lateral agreement was signed.
