Scholarships and Waivers
International students can explore merit-based waivers, institution scholarships, and special medical and dental admission opportunities in Bangladesh.
Common Scholarship Options
Bangladesh does not have one single scholarship system for every institution. International students should usually check each university or college for its current tuition waiver policy, admission scholarship, special quota, and semester-based performance scholarship.
Merit Waivers
Many private universities provide partial tuition waivers for strong academic results, including O-Level, A-Level, equivalent high school, bachelor, or previous university results.
Performance Waivers
Continuing students may qualify for semester-by-semester waivers by maintaining strong CGPA, full-time enrollment, and good conduct.
Medical & Dental Seats
The Directorate General of Medical Education publishes circulars for foreign students seeking MBBS and BDS admission in government and non-government medical or dental colleges.
Institution Support
Some institutions provide sibling, alumni, sports, cultural, special talent, or need-based waivers. These vary by institution and must be confirmed before applying.
What International Applicants Should Prepare
- Academic transcripts, certificates, and grading scale or equivalence documents.
- Passport copy and recent passport-size photographs.
- English language evidence if previous study was not in English.
- Scholarship statement or financial support documents, if requested by the institution.
- Medical/dental applicants should follow the latest DGME foreign student circular and eligibility list instructions.
How to Use This Portal
Shortlist institutions first, then confirm scholarship rules directly with the admission office before final submission. Scholarship availability, percentage, and renewal rules can change by semester, program, and applicant profile.
