AUO Sustainability Scholarship
Integrity is a core value of AUO
Since 2006, AUO has initiated a sustainable scholarship donation activity where employees voluntarily donate part of their salary to assist economically disadvantaged students.
Starting from 2021, the cooperation with Teach for Taiwan (tft) will be expanded to promote campus science popularization and environmental education programs. Teachers from TFT will lead students in conducting science popularization and environmental protection activities on campus, inspiring children's interest in science, environmental protection, or cultural preservation issues.

DADA’s Magic Science Camp
Starting in December 2016, AUO also partnered with the National Museum of Natural Science and the Yuan T. Lee Foundation to organize “DADA’s Magic Science Camp”,1-day science camps for junior high school students given the scholarship. The camp boosted the influence of the scholarship while giving back to society.
A survey found that DADA’s Magic Science Camp helped with the students’ learning performance and development of personal relations.
- One out of every two students that took part became interested in science due to the event.
- One in five also met new friends through the event.
