SCHOLARS' PROGRAM

Scholarships enable qualified scientists from the National Agricultural Research and Extension System to pursue MS and PhD degrees, as well as fellowships to update their technical knowledge and skills. Individuals who are given scholarships at IRRI Training work with IRRI scientists on a research project of mutual interest to IRRI and their institute.

DEGREE/POST DEGREE (MS/PhD) TRAINING
NARS scientists are provided opportunities for professional advancement through MS/PhD scholarship programs.
