The Taiwan-Philippines Educational Development Foundation (TPEDF) remains very active in advancing its main cause — providing education for deserving but less privileged Filipino youth by sending them to various Taiwanese learning institutions.
For the upcoming school year, the Foundation is again sponsoring the plane tickets of about a thousand students in pursuit of higher education in Taiwan. Slated for August and September flights, these students represent the most outstanding applicants who are recipients of three-year scholarships to Taiwan's famed technological universities with a comprehensive seven-year training program. Those who complete the academic requirements are awarded with a bachelor's degree and an opportunity to be matched with enterprises for employment.
The Foundation is headed by Chai-Liang Lin as the Chief Executive Officer, who aside from being a businessman, is a staunch advocate of education which is a key factor in improving societies and economies. Lin is joined by other foundation stalwarts Kuo-Fang Su, Chairman; Ya-Hui Huang; Chia-Hsiang Lu; Kuo-Chen Wu and I-Ho Hsieh.
They have been providing for the airfares of the students for many years. The project is also annually made successful through the vibrant support of the of Overseas Community Affairs Council (OCAC), Taipei Economic Cultural Office (Teco) in the Philippines, which is the main organization behind these scholarship program.
