A brief description of notable policies or programs to make the institution accessible and affordable to low-income students:
NTHU offers "Rising Sun Scholarship" similar to the need-based financial support to admit students with financial needs. In addition to independent admissions channels, it reduces the performance screening gene and uses a comprehensive review and rigorous interviews to select adversity students to enroll, so as to provide for every student from economically disadvantaged and impoverished families. During the four-year study period, each student will be offered a scholarship up to US$3,300 per academic year (from September to June of the following year, up to US$330 per month), so that students can study without spending time on a part-time job to earn living expenditure, so that they may participate in various activities on campus. In the 2018 academic year, 140 students won the Rising Sun Scholarship, and a scholarship of US$ 454,333 was awarded; 152 students received the Rising Sun Scholarship in 2019 academic year, with a scholarship of NT$486,167; 184 students received the Rising Sun Scholarship in 2020 academic year, and a scholarship of US$588,167 was awarded to help economically disadvantaged students.
