In a major step to strengthen educational ties, Bangladesh announces 500 scholarships for Pakistani students for higher studies in various fields. The scholarships are part of Dhaka’s initiative to promote regional cooperation and people-to-people contacts.
According to officials, these scholarships will cover undergraduate and postgraduate programs in science, medicine, engineering, social sciences, and humanities. The opportunity is open to talented Pakistani students who wish to pursue studies at recognized universities in Bangladesh.
The announcement was welcomed in Islamabad, where education experts said the move would provide Pakistani youth with access to quality academic resources. They highlighted that such opportunities also build mutual understanding and goodwill between the two countries.
This is not the first time Bangladesh has offered academic opportunities to Pakistan. However, the scale of the new program is larger and more inclusive. Officials confirmed that details about eligibility, application procedures, and deadlines will be shared through the Bangladesh High Commission in Islamabad.
Education analysts believe the initiative can also help students gain exposure to diverse learning environments. It may further enhance bilateral relations, especially as both countries explore new avenues of cooperation beyond trade and politics.
The scholarships come at a time when regional collaboration in education is increasingly seen as a tool for sustainable development. By investing in young minds, Bangladesh and Pakistan hope to build stronger future partnerships.
