The stock market turbulence does not change the original intention of helping students! Hu Ke University alumni give away 300 high-dividend ETFs to create a "sustainable scholarship"

The Taiwan stock market has been experiencing severe fluctuations recently. In the face of stock market fluctuations, an alumnus of the Department of Electrical Engineering of National University of Science and Technology took the lead in giving back to his alma mater with a long-term investment concept. He donated 100 Yuanta high-dividend (0056) stocks with a market value of nearly NT$5 million to establish the "International Exchange Student Scholarship". The school stated that alumni expect to add 100 Cathay Pacific Sustainable High Dividends (00878) in the next two years, hoping to use the dividend income to create a sustainable student fund.

The school held a low-key signing and donation ceremony on November 6. President Zhang Xinliang signed a contract with the alumnus. Witnessed by Chen Houming, director of the Department of Electrical Engineering, and faculty and staff of the department, the "Fuyao International Exchange Student Scholarship" was officially established.

The alumnus said in a low-key manner that he studied electrical engineering at Yunlin Technical College, the predecessor of Hu Ke University, in his early years. He is still deeply grateful to his teachers for their careful cultivation and teachings. He decided to set up a sustainable fund with high-dividend stocks in the hope of turning this gratitude into concrete actions and passing on the dividend income from generation to generation. He also hopes that this scholarship can become the wind under the wings of the younger students and help everyone bravely pursue their dreams.

Zhang Xinliang said that in the face of globalization and industrial transformation, transnational mobility has become an important competitiveness for young people. Overseas exchanges can not only hone language and professional skills, but also cultivate cross-cultural communication skills and expand international horizons. This support builds a bridge for students to connect with the world, and also allows outstanding students not to give up their dreams due to financial pressure.

The school stated that this fund uses the income generated from donated assets as scholarship funds to provide students from the Department of Electrical Engineering with the opportunity to participate in international exchange studies. It will use long-term holdings of ETFs and dividend income as the source of scholarships and stipends. It will comprehensively evaluate students' language proficiency, academic performance, overseas study qualifications and family financial status. It is expected to subsidize more than 2 students each year to go to overseas schools in Japan, Europe and the United States for exchanges, and fully subsidize round-trip air tickets, living expenses and related expenses.
