SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FOR POOR MERITORIOUS STUDENTS, BARIDHARA, DHAKA

The Scholarship program for poor meritoious students is aimed at providing financial aid to meritorious but poor students from remote rural areas of Bangladesh who otherwise would be unable to continue their higher studies due to financial hardship. Students are screened and selected from the list prepared by Daily Newspapers of extra-ordinary performances of very poor meritorious students from remote rural areas.  These students have received a GPA of 5 in their SSC or HSC exams.

This program was undertaken by Gulshan Rotary Club.  However, due to lack of fund, they were able to support only 20 of the 162 candidates who were identified.  With BACHAO’s assistance, Rotary Club of Gulshan could extend the scholarship to additional 15 meritorious but poor students from remote rural areas.
