“Hope Admission Program

To support underprivileged students, NTU launched the “Hope Admission Program”, which includes two admission pathways: “Early Admission without GSAT – Hope Group” and “Individual Application – Hope Group,” specifically for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. In addition to students from low-income and mid-low-income families, families in hardship, and indigenous families, NTU began admitting more students from MOE-approved remote areas and “non-mountain nonurban” areas in 2021. This admission process aligns with the goal of the “NTU without Borders” initiative, which includes providing greater access to higher education and extending NTU’s educational resources for disadvantaged students in remote areas.
