Hey Sushan,
You can get the scholarship by applying for it. To get started you can read the eligibility criteria to see if you meet it. If you do then you can click on the "Apply Now" button and you will be taken to the application form. If you find yourself to be not eligible for this scholarship, you can check these Public Health Scholarships for International students in the United States of America (USA). We would suggest you not just look for fully funded scholarships but also take a look at the partially funded ones as well. Fully funded scholarships tend to have very stringent eligibility criteria which are not very easy to meet. On the other hand, partially funded scholarships have easier eligibility criteria which ensures that you receive the amount you need to relieve your financial burden. Hope this helped.
