Recipients are selected based on a variety of factors, the most significant of which is the applicant's academic record. PHBS sets aside a large grant each year to be used exclusively for student scholarships, a portion of which is awarded to outstanding international applicants. For international students, there are two award levels for the MA program and 1 award level for the MBA program. Full tuition scholarship and half-tuition scholarship for MA program and Half tuition scholarship for MBA program.
