Applicants selected their preferred universities by ranking their first and second choices among these four universities.

The foundation will conduct document screening from the 27th to the 29th of this month, selecting twice the number of available spots, and announce the interview candidates on May 2. The document screening will be based on the evaluation of the 'Self-Development Plan.'
