Dear Dr. Lee Teng-hui:
The Principality of New Utopia has generously offered to provide one
full scholarship for a citizen of the Republic of China to attend the International
University of Advanced Studies. The reason for this award is to foster
international understanding and global preparation for the exciting technological
and humanitarian developments of the next century.
To be eligible for the award, the individual should be at least seventeen
years of age (as of January 1, 1999) and have completed secondary school
preparation (the equivalent of U.S. high school) for university-level study.
The applicant must be a full citizen of the Republic of China and in good
standing with your immigration and legal authorities. However, the bachelor's
degree program on which the student will be embarking is non-resident and
can be completed from anywhere in the world. The student must be fluent
in English, and have access to the Internet (for email) and to the World
Wide Web, as well as to reliable telephone and regular mail service.
The scholarship covers application and registration fees, and course
fees for the full, four-year program. This amounts to a total of approximately
$15,000 (U.S.). The scholarship does not include the costs of texts, communications,
and ancillary expenses (not payable to the University) which vary greatly
with the needs of individual students, but should not exceed $1,200 (U.S.)
for the full, four-year period of enrollment.
The academic program on which the student will embark leads to a Bachelor
of Science degree in Advanced Engineering Sciences. The student should,
therefore, have interest and aptitude in science. There is an opportunity
to major (after the first two years of study) in one of four fields: Information
Technology, Ocean Science, Space Science, or Future Studies.
Please provide whatever assistance you can in helping me alert your
young, academically minded citizenry to the opportunity to apply for this
award. More information about the International University of Advanced
Studies can be found on the World Wide Web at <http://www.new-utopia.com/iuas.html>.
Applicants (or their sponsors or referring agencies) may send preliminary
inquiry and application materials to my office (at the address above).
I am looking forward to hearing from you,
With sincere regards, |
