Finalists and their advisors can fill out the application form in the notice letter they receive regarding entrance into the Finals to apply for a maximum of NT$20,000 in research grants with the foundation.

※A student who has won the Macronix Science Awards several times during his or her senior high school years will only receive the highest one of the scholarships he or she has won.
※Recommendation Letter: Students who are selected for the Finals and awarded will be issued a Recommendation Letter from the Macronix science committee assisting in entrance into an undergraduate program.
※A participant’s advisor will receive a certificate and trophy.
※Participants who make it into the final round but fail to receive an award will be ranked as outstanding projects entitled to an award of NT$5,000 each along with a certificate. Their advisors will also receive a certificate.
