HES 2027
Hi everyone!
I’m planning to apply for the Huayu Enrichment Scholarship 2027 from Germany and would love to hear from people who have already gone through the application process.
A few questions:
How competitive is the scholarship for applicants from Germany? Does anyone know roughly how many scholarships Germany receives each year?
Which university would you recommend for learning Mandarin? I’m mainly considering Taipei, but I’m also interested in hearing about Kaohsiung.
Did you feel like your Chinese improved significantly during the scholarship?
How much did you spend per month in Taipei oder Kaohsiung? (rent, food, transportation, etc.)?
Was it easy to make friends with other international students and locals?
If you could do it again, would you choose the same university and city?
Also, I currently only know a little bit of Chinese and can’t really read or write yet. My goal is to learn as much as possible while I’m there, but also to enjoy student life, meet new people, and have a great time overall.
Also, if anyone else is planning to apply this year, I’d be happy to connect!
I’d really appreciate any experiences or advice. Thanks in advance!
