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. Interested applicants can apply for a PhD Sandwich program with the degree granted by an institution in the Philippines.
