A total of 23 young Bangladeshi professionals have received Chevening Scholarships for the coming
academic year, according to press release. They will soon leave Bangladesh to begin one-year master’s
degrees at some of the UK’s most prestigious universities.
British High Commission Dhaka welcomed the next cohort of Chevening Scholars through an online
event last week.
Chevening Scholarships are the UK Government’s global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign,
Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and partner organisations. The scholarships support
one-year taught master's degrees at UK universities for individuals with demonstrable potential to
become future leaders, decision-makers, and opinion formers.
British Charge d’affaires James Goldman said:
“Many congratulations to the 23 young scholars, including 17 women, from Bangladesh joining the
Chevening programme this year. UK degrees and teaching methods are world-class and will allow them
to develop their professional skills and shape their future career.
“When they return home after their studies in the UK, they will be well-equipped to be leaders in their
fields here in Bangladesh.”
Applications for Chevening Scholarships to study in the UK are open to apply until 5 November 2024.
