Four Taiwanese students received scholarships presented by the representative of Israel in Taiwan Monday to assist them in studying Hebrew this summer in Israel. The scholarships were granted by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with Haifa University. 'Of course, we had in the past and also now Taiwanese students studying in Israeli leading universities, but this is the first time that Taiwanese students will benefit from our government scholarships' said Raphael Gamzou, the head of the Israel Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei. 'This is a modest beginning and I hope we may expand it in the future and anchor it in an M.O.U. on collaboration on education matters,' he said. The four students are Chen I-chun, graduate student of International Affairs and Strategic Studies at Tamkang University; Yang Tsai-hua, a Diplomacy Department student at National Chengchi University (NCCU) ; Lai Yu-li, a student in the Arabic Department at NCCU and Shih Shih-chieh, a student in the French Department at Fu Jen Catholic University.
