Global Alliance awards scholarships for MScom study program
However, only applicants who live and work outside Switzerland are eligible for scholarships from the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management.
The Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management is awarding four new scholarships to international participants of the Master of Science in Communication Management (MScom) program at the University of Lugano. However, only applicants who live and work outside Switzerland are eligible for the scholarships. The aim of the international association is to further strengthen cooperation between PR and communication professionals at an international level. The aim is to gradually facilitate the professional activities of the experts by creating academic networks and bridging the gap between them. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need to applicants who do not receive financial support from their employers for their continuing education efforts. Each grant amounts to CHF 21,000, which is half the fee for the MScom program. The application deadline is October 31, 2006, and a joint committee consisting of Global Alliance and MScom representatives will determine qualitative criteria for the awarding of the scholarships. The Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management brings together more than 60 international PR and communication associations with a total membership of more than 160,000 professionals worldwide.
