Partial tuition reductions for strong results, often assessed automatically with your application. The most common award by far — ask us which ones your profile fits.
The big government awards close long before admission deadlines. Chevening, for example, closes in early October for courses starting the following September.
Merit awards for results, need-based awards for family finances, government awards, university fee waivers, subject-specific and research-funded places.
Many awards need work experience, a minimum English score, or a commitment to return to Bangladesh. Some need an offer before you can apply.
Leadership, networking and career-plan essays take weeks to get right. Have your references and English score ready before the round opens.
