Here is the good news: students studying for a graduate degree (masters, doctorate) have more opportunities for financial aid from both public and private universities compared to undergraduates. The bad news? Money as always is hard to find, requires a lot of research to locate all funding opportunities and might not be enough to meet all the needs.
Many universities provide financial aid packages as part of the admission package depending your eligibility. The financial aid package may be partially in the form of a scholarship, a loan and can also be in the form of a research or teaching activity award. These awards may cover tuition expenses and provide a monthly stipend. Make sure you read the application materials thoroughly and also visit your potential department website prior to applying to find out details about financial aid.
Some organizations and institutions also provide scholarships for students of developing countries. At the American Center (formerly USIS) in Dhaka, details can be found about scholarship opportunities for Bangladeshi students. Speak to the student advisor at the American Center to find out if you are eligible to apply for these scholarships. The Joint Japan/World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program (JJ/WBGSP) is one such scholarship awarded to individuals from World Bank member countries such as Bangladesh to undertake graduate studies. Visit the World Bank website to find out eligibility criteria and deadlines for application.
Websites have also cropped up with scholarship information for Bangladeshi students. One website called varsityadmission provides information on scholarships available for Bangladeshi students at US and other universities.
At Scholarships-usa.html , details are also provided of both undergraduate and postgraduate scholarship opportunities. As always, make sure you contact the host institution or graduate school directly to ascertain that the information available is current and to double check the application requirements and deadlines.
