Subsidy Measures for graduate students Applying to Attend International Conferences	Regulations	Yuan Ze University (YZU):Key points on the grant of subsidies for graduate students to attend international conferences
	How to apply	Applications for subsidies must be submitted to the NSTC by the end of the month, two months prior to the conference date. However, if the applicant receives the paper acceptance notification after this deadline, the application may still be accepted without prior submission to the NSTC, provided that proof of paper acceptance is attached. Applications will not be accepted if the applicant simply missed the NSTC application deadline. For co-authored papers, only one author is eligible to receive a subsidy for presenting the same paper. Other co-authors (including faculty members) are not allowed to apply for any other subsidies, either within or outside the university, using the same paper. Applicants must sign the application form to declare that they have not applied for subsidies from any other organization for the same paper. For applicants who have received NSTC subsidies under the “Graduate Student Attendance at International Academic Conferences” program, expenses such as airfare and registration fees must be reimbursed within the approved subsidy amount. Other expenses related to attending the same conference that are not covered by the subsidy (e.g., daily living expenses) may be reimbursed under any NSTC-funded research project, such as the advisor’s research project.
	Subsidy content	This program is funded by the Ministry of Education and supported by matching funds from the university. The subsidy targets include PhD students and master’s students who have received funding from the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC). In principle, each eligible student may receive the subsidy once per academic year, subject to the annual budget allocated by the Ministry of Education and the university. For PhD students who have received NSTC funding, the maximum subsidy for living expenses per case is NT$12,000. For PhD students without NSTC funding, the subsidy cap is NT$28,000 for conferences held in Asia；For those attending conferences outside of Asia, the subsidy cap is NT$40,000. For master’s students who have received NSTC funding, the maximum subsidy for living expenses per case is NT$5,000.
