Intl student Phd/ed

PhD/EdD fully-funded programs

Hello,
I just graduated with my MBA this May. I’m an international student and was thinking about starting a PhD/EdD, but I will need a fully-funded program.
An issue I have: I have never done any research before or published. Will it even be possible to get into a funded program?
