The main purpose of this research was to find an answer to the question: Is Taiwan’s Higher Education Scholarship Program an effective soft power tool for the to use with its Central American diplomatic allies? If Yes, which factors make Taiwan attractive? If No, which factors make Taiwan unattractive? The findings after conducting the research suggest that Taiwan’s higher education scholarship program serves as an effective soft power tool to use with its Central American allies given the influence its pulling factors (A positive perception of the basic information available about the country, positive perception of the Taiwan’s Higher Education System as a high quality one, knowledge of Taiwan’s Higher Education Scholarship Program, reinforcing positive perceptions of the Taiwan’s fully funded scholarship program and its high-quality higher education system from participants’ local social circle, reinforcing positive comments of Taiwan’s fully funded scholarship program and its high-quality higher education system from participants’ social links living in Taiwan and scholarship financial benefits) exert to drive them to come; combined with a series of fostering factors (Sense of safety, freedom, entertainment scene, culture, societal values, positive perceptions about study program’s administrative staff, perceptions of university’s international office administrative staff, perceptions of local classmates, perceptions of study program’s professor staff; easiness to communicate with home country, perception of Taiwan as a place for career development, and desire to search for a job in the Taiwan) exert to generate and maintain a positive opinion about the country among international scholarship recipients from Taiwan’s Central American allies despite the presence of a series of deteriorating factors (Skin color/country of origin discrimination, negative experiences in the educational environment with staff members , local classmates and/or professors; unpleasant climate/weather, perceived averseness of Taiwanese employers to hire international graduates and a perceived averseness of Taiwanese employers to hire international graduates from home country).參考文獻 Abimbola, S., Amazan, R., Vizintin, P., Howie, L., Cumming, R., & Negin, J.
