After making it big in their careers, many alumni like to give back to the university that set them on their path. Last December, two National Chengchi University alumni quietly donated US$30 million to the school—the equivalent of NT$940 million—to build new dorms. Students were excited about the news, while some joked about how bad of an experience they must have had living there. The school was grateful for the generous donation, predicting that it would also reduce student accommodation fees by 20%.

The second phase of a project to build new dorms at National Chengchi University broke ground in February last year. There will be four new 10-story buildings, providing 1,800 beds for students.

The dorms, built at a cost of NT$2.5 billion, will not only provide accommodation, but also multifunctional lecture rooms, a cafeteria, and lounges. It was recently revealed that some secretive alumni anonymously donated US$30 million specifically for the project.

NCCU student
They’re quite generous since they donated anonymously. I think the entire gesture is pretty commendable. I don’t think I could earn that much money, anyway.

NCCU student
It’s amazing. I think they’re... They must hold a deep resentment toward the dorms, so they directed their donation there.

Tseng Shou-cheng
NCCU chief secretary
Two alumni at the end of December gave a large donation. It’s the largest NCCU has received in recent years. To them, taking care of students’ education is the greatest investment in the future. The donation reduces pressure on students’ living expenses, but we also hope that it will improve the surrounding privately run dorms, so they also provide better accommodations for our students.

The generous donation will significantly alleviate the financial burden on NCCU to repay the principal loan and interest to build the dorms, enabling a 20% reduction on student accommodation fees in the future.
