Deadline: September 30, 2017

Applications are ongoing for the CHED-CBIE Scholarship for Graduate Studies in Canada 2018. The CHED-CBIE Scholarship for Graduate Studies in Canada is a scholarship program designed for faculty and non-teaching staff of Philippine Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). This program will bring twenty (20) Filipino scholars to Canada to pursue further studies at Canadian institutions during 2017-18 academic year. Interested applicants can apply for a PhD Sandwich program with the degree granted by an institution in the Philippines.

The objective of the CHED-CBIE Scholarship for Graduate Studies in Canada is to prepare these scholars for academic positions, educational leadership, research, policy formulation and teacher training in the Philippines upon completion of the program. The scholars are expected to return to the Philippines and implement meaningful programs in relation to their acquired knowledge and skills from their study in Canada for the development of their respective HEIs.

The program is entirely funded by the Philippine Commission on Higher Education (CHED), which has entrusted the management of the program to the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE).
