Frequently asked questions

Do I need IELTS before applying?

For Fulbright, Australia Awards and Erasmus Mundus, yes or in progress. Chevening only needs it at the university-offer stage.

Can I apply to multiple scholarships?

Yes — apply broadly, but tailor every essay to the specific program's development-impact language.

We maintain the largest verified scholarship database for Bangladeshi students — every entry source-cited with its official deadline. Here are the eight programs with the strongest funding and track records for 2026 entry.

What these programs actually require

Beyond transcripts, master’s-level programs in this list ask for one common thing: real work experience. Chevening wants 2,800 hours; DAAD EPOS wants two years in a development-related role; Australia Awards weighs professional impact heavily. Students applying straight from graduation should target Erasmus Mundus, Türkiye Bursları and Vanier (via supervisor nomination).

The application that wins is the one started eight weeks early — references and verified transcripts take longer than any essay.
