Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible for fully funded scholarships?

Eligibility varies by program, but most fully funded flagship scholarships (like Chevening or Fulbright) require a strong academic background, leadership potential, and a clear intention to return to your home country to create impact. Many also require 2+ years of professional work experience.

Can Bangladeshi students apply for Chevening or Fulbright?

Yes! Both the Chevening Scholarship (UK) and the Fulbright Foreign Student Program (USA) accept applications from Bangladeshi citizens. However, you must meet their strict criteria, including holding a bachelor's degree and, for Chevening, having at least two years of work experience.

What GPA do scholarships require?

Highly competitive scholarships generally require an 'Upper Second-Class Honours' (2:1) in the UK system, or roughly a GPA of 3.0/4.0 to 3.3/4.0 minimum depending on the country. Some programs like DAAD EPOS specifically ask for grades in the 'upper third' of your graduating class.

Do I need IELTS for a scholarship?

Almost always, yes. If you are from a non-native English speaking country, you will need to prove your English proficiency. Even if a specific scholarship board does not ask for it initially, the host university where you plan to study will require an IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE score for admission.
