Notes:
  1. To encourage diverse student participation, each application must include at least one participant in addition to the applicant. Applicants are required to invite students to join before submitting the application.
  2. If the expected number of participants is fewer than 10, but you are willing to open the activity to more students, OIA can assist with promotion. However, the applicant or designated contact person will still be responsible for follow-up communication, registration, and confirming participation.

FAQ

Q1: Is there a minimum group size for the activity? Can we apply with just 1 faculty/staff member and 1 international student?
Ans: Yes, you can apply! The minimum requirement is 2 participants (at least 1 CGU faculty/staff member + 1 international student).
💡Note: Due to limited funding, priority will be given to groups with 10 or those willing to host additional international students if applications exceed capacity.

Q2: How do we provide receipts for transportation reimbursement?
Ans: Reimbursement applies only to public transportation.
  • MRT: Request a “Proof of Purchase” or “Riding Certificate” at the MRT information counter.
  • Bus: Provide the route taken (e.g., 967 Chang Gung University-Taipei Main Station) and proof of fare (e.g., a screenshot of the online bus fare table)
