Heartwarming Reactions
The Facebook announcement received numerous comments from users congratulating the students.
One user wrote:
“Thank you for the heartwarming announcement regarding the 2025 MOFA and ICDF scholarship recipients. Congratulations to all the outstanding students who have earned this incredible opportunity to further their education in Taiwan.”
Another user offered advice for students preparing to study abroad, recommending student health insurance that includes coverage for accidental death and expatriation of remains:
“As these students prepare for their time abroad, it may be beneficial for them to consider securing a student health insurance plan. This would not only provide peace of mind but also ensure that families are supported in case of unforeseen circumstances.”
A former scholarship recipient highlighted the benefits of the program, stating that students are expected to gain valuable knowledge and skills that will contribute to their personal and professional growth:
“The Taiwan Embassy’s scholarship programme is a significant initiative that promotes educational exchange and cooperation between Taiwan and Eswatini. The programme aims to provide opportunities for outstanding students to pursue higher education in Taiwan and to foster a new generation of leaders who will contribute to the development of their communities. Safe journey to all the students.”
