The Philippines’ Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has forged a scholarship partnership with Carnegie Mellon University in Australia to expand opportunities for qualified faculty and staff to pursue graduate studies abroad during the K to 12 transition period.
The scholarships are available on a competitive basis for Filipino faculty and staff of Philippine Higher Education Institutions to study the Master of Science in Public Policy and Management and Master of Science in Information Technology at Carnegie Mellon University in Australia.
Applicants must be Filipino citizens and current faculty or staff of CHED recognised higher education institutions in the Philippines.
Note: Upon completion of the Master Degree at CMU-A, applicants must render return service following at least a 2:1 ratio (two years of service for every one year of scholarship) to the University where they were working before accepting the CHED-CMU Scholarship.
