Study Abroad Scholarships for Bangladeshi Students — Country, University and Fully Funded Options

বাংলায় পড়ুন

Scholarships are mainly of three kinds: (1) government fully funded — e.g. Chevening, Commonwealth, Australia Awards, DAAD, Fulbright; (2) university scholarships — partial or full tuition waivers; (3) research funding — teaching/research assistantships for PhD and research master's. Major scholarships usually close 9–12 months before admission.

Guides by country

Keep in mind

  • Fully funded usually means tuition + monthly stipend + air ticket; each scholarship's terms differ
  • Many government scholarships require you to return home after your studies
  • You don't need to pay any agent a "processing fee" — major scholarships are applied for free on their official portals

Admission, scholarship, test-score and visa rules can change every year — check the latest information on the university, scholarship provider and embassy websites before you apply.

  1. List the government scholarships and university funding pages for your target country
  2. Check eligibility — citizenship, results, work experience, age and English score
  3. Put every deadline in your calendar
  4. Write a scholarship-specific essay/SOP — don't reuse the same text everywhere
  5. Confirm your referees and LORs early
  6. Prepare for interviews if shortlisted

FAQ

Which fully funded scholarships are best known for Bangladeshis?

Chevening and Commonwealth (UK), Australia Awards (Australia), DAAD (Germany), Fulbright (USA) and the Swedish Institute (Sweden) — check eligibility and deadlines on their official sites.

Can I get a scholarship without IELTS?

Most major scholarships require you to meet the university's English requirement. Some don't ask for the score at application time but need it later.

When should I start applying?

About a year before your intake. Many UK scholarships, for example, close in the autumn of the previous year.
