Government scholarships for Bangladeshi students: the full list
A list of government-funded scholarship programmes by country and level, who each is for, and how to check the official page before you apply.
Quick answer: many governments fund scholarships for Bangladeshi students, but each has its own level (bachelor's, master's or PhD), application window and rules. The list below groups well-known programmes by country and level. Use it as a map and confirm each one on its official page, because dates and conditions change.
By country and level
| Country | Programme | Usually for |
|---|---|---|
| China | Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC) | Bachelor's, master's, PhD |
| Türkiye | Türkiye Scholarships (Türkiye Burslari) | Bachelor's, master's, PhD |
| Hungary | Stipendium Hungaricum | Several levels, see the call |
| Japan | MEXT scholarship | Undergraduate, master's, research |
| South Korea | Korean Government Scholarship (GKS) | Undergraduate, graduate |
| Germany | DAAD programmes | Mostly graduate |
| United Kingdom | Chevening, Commonwealth | Master's (and PhD for Commonwealth) |
| Australia | Australia Awards | Graduate |
| United States | Fulbright Foreign Student | Graduate |
The levels above are typical. A programme can change its levels or its list of countries from year to year, so confirm on the official page.
For HSC graduates vs graduates
- If you are applying after HSC, look at the undergraduate options. See scholarships after HSC.
- Programmes such as Chevening, Commonwealth, DAAD graduate programmes and Fulbright are for people with a bachelor's degree.
How to check a programme
- Open the official programme site, not a blog.
- Find the level, subjects, age and grade rules.
- Find the application window and where you apply (online portal, embassy or university).
- Read what it covers (tuition, stipend, housing, insurance, flights) and what it does not.
- Check the obligations after the award, such as returning home.
On their front pages, Türkiye Scholarships lists associate, bachelor's, master's and PhD levels and says applications are online and free. Stipendium Hungaricum says it covers tuition and supports accommodation.
Mistakes to avoid
- Trusting a list that does not link to the official page.
- Paying a "selection fee". See how to spot a fake offer.
- Applying to a graduate programme without the degree it needs.
- Missing the early deadline because you read an old year's page.
Main idea: use this list as a starting point, pick the programmes that match your level, and confirm every rule and date on the official page.
