Re: 全國研究生助學金 陳情書 (一封公開信)

It is good to have some real stories for references.
I guess your brother should be a very good students, as I know,
even American don't give every PhD student full scholarship.
Only those who have shown very good potential can standout from the very
strong competition. All the best to him and family.
Back to the problem, we all know American are really rich. They probably
can afford to give everybody scholarship but they haven't even done this.
Suppose they do give the full scholarship to every PhD student,
how do you recognise what could occur next?
Simply, is the research quality in the system going to improve or drop?
If your classmate only do half amount of your loads and get the same
scholarship and will continue to obtain the scholarship next year?
Will you work harder thereafter?
I think we are hitting the foundamental value of the American system.
American dream means the opportunities and success go to those who can
accept hardship, who can take leadership and risks, who can face challenges,
who can point out the right way for the rest, etc.
In such system, no free money or equal support reall exists.
The bonus and scholarship is quite high, higher than you can get in the rest
of the world; however, the candidates must be also the best of the best.
And this makes a reason why they always give the best results.
This is also an important reason of that the US have become a single super
power since 1945, and, conversely, another super power, the USSR disappeared
finally, although initially they both controlled nearly equal parts of the
world.
I am not saying there are nobody can be qualified the best of the best and
currently studying in Taiwan. However, I haven't seen any rule to determine
that who is going to get such a good scholarship, suppose we are going to spend
or to invest any money on any one of them.
Some people did address similar ways to allocate such support or scholarship.
However, there are always some others sticking on asking for free money
equally allocated for everyone. This is basically the main point that we cannot
agree.
Fortunately, the living cost in Taiwan is not that expensive like in NY.
In the long term, I am quite happy to see a good scholarship competition
system can be launched in Taiwanese system, to push everybody doing their
best. However, even so, the scholarship should not allocate for everyone.
And those who cannot standout from the competition must expect to support
their studies by themselves, I am afraid.
Universities or schools are places of doing research, showing your potential,
learning something, making your own beautiful future, etc.
However, they are not least a group name of many shelter buildings nor
even a charity society.
