A group of outstanding Tamkang teachers, who received TKU research subsidies in the 2009 academic year, will soon be honored in a special awards presentation, to be held on Jan. 21st. Teachers who have received cumulative subsidy grants of over NT $300,000 will be recognized onstage, where they will be awarded with a crystal plaque for their efforts. The Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Gwo-hsing Yu, has for the past ten years garnered over NT $48 million in overall research funding, well and truly claiming first place in total research subsidy grants.

A total of 80 TKU teachers will be honored during the event, with award categories to include: recipients with cumulated subsidy totals of over NT $5 million; recipients with accrued subsidy totals between NT three and five million; and recipients with subsidy totals of between NT one and three million.

The largest contingent of teachers to be honored in the upcoming ceremony came from the College of Engineering. They accounted for 82% of awarded teachers, having earned total subsidy grants of over NT $50 million.
