What to mention in the Huayu Enrichment Scholarship application?

Hello everyone,

I’m planning on submitting my application for the Huayu Enrichment Scholarship this month.

Do you guys have any tips on what to write in the study plan and motivation part of the application? I am quite nervous about it and I feel like what I wrote is not enough. How do I make the application stand out? Should I make it personal? Is there a thing you mentioned in the application that makes you think helped you get the scholarship?

Is it a good idea to mention that even if I do not receive the scholarship, I will still go to Taiwan to improve my Mandarin?
Should I also mention for how long I wish to receive the scholarship? Because in my country’s application, there is no specific part where I can choose that. I want to get it for as long as possible, but I heard that in order to get the 12-month scholarship, it is mandatory to have a HSK 3 certificate.

Thank you very much!
