The cost of education remains a significant financial challenge for many families. Seemingly small increases can add up over decades, especially with several years of static or declining wages.

Tuition fees
Tuition at I-Shou University varies by college and program. As a general range, it’s roughly NT$90,000 to NT$145,000 per year. You can check the detailed fees for each college here.

Living Costs
This is your main cost during University. You are best to plan a budget to include accommodation, food, books, clothes, entertainment, travel and bills like electricity and gas.

We estimate that it will cost you $NT 12,000 to $NT 16,000 a year to live and study as an undergraduate at I-Shou University, but it could be more or less, depending on factors such as your choice of accommodation and your lifestyle.

Additional costs
Some programs also involve additional costs, for example studying abroad or compulsory field courses. You should make sure you are aware of these costs early on in your application process. Check our degree finder for information on any additional costs for your chosen program. You can speak to staff in our admissions offices for more details.

New students can receive up to one full year of tuition + required fees, plus NT$20,000 dormitory subsidy. The total amount is divided across the first two semesters.

You must meet all of these criteria:

a. Academic Performance

  • Must be in the top 40% of your class in the previous semester.
  • Must complete at least 9 credits.
  • If you took fewer than 9 credits, the scholarship amount will be reduced proportionally.

b. Conduct

  • Personal conduct grade must be 85 or above.
  • No minor demerits or disciplinary records.

c. Service-Learning

  • Must participate in required service-learning (OICA will evaluate this).

Scholarship covers up to one semester of tuition and required fees, depending on academic performance and committee review.

BA degrees typically take four years to complete, while MFA/MA programs vary from two to three years. The International Foundation Program is five years (a one-year of learning Chinese and another four-year of learning bachelor’s program)

The notification period for the admission decision will be approximately August 15 through early September (Fall intake) or January 15 through early February (Spring intake) for students that applied by the regular deadline. There may be cases, however, where the decision will come earlier or take longer. We send decision letters out at different times, depending on each program’s review schedule and when required materials for the student’s file are received. There is no significance attached to receiving your notification earlier or later than other students that have applied.
