Sonargaon University has launched an initiative to award scholarships totaling approximately Tk13 mllion, based on various skills rather than the conventional GPA.
As part of this, the university has officially inaugurated
the ‘SU Future Leader-2027’ skill-based scholarship program and the ‘Spring
Admission Fair 2027’ at its Green Road campus.
According to the university, the ‘SU Future Leader-2027’
program will provide scholarships across three categories to 64 students
enrolled in 22 different programs for the Spring 2027 semester. This includes
21 fully-funded scholarships, 21 tuition fee waivers, and 22 semester fee
waivers.
The fully-funded scholarship covers the tuition and semester
fees for the entire program, in addition to a waiver of the admission fee and a
refund of the fees paid for the first semester.
The tuition fee waiver covers the tuition fees for the
entire program, while the semester fee waiver covers the semester fees for the
entire program.
A separate competition will be held for each program,
meaning students will compete against their peers within their respective
fields of study.
For the LLB program, the scholarship will be applied to
semester fees. Detailed terms and conditions for the scholarships can be found
on the university’s websites at scholarship.su.edu.bd and www.su.edu.bd.
The inauguration ceremony of the admission fair was attended
by the university’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof Shamim Ara Hasan;
Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Prof Bulbul Ahmed; Treasurer, Prof Mohammad Ekramul Islam;
as well as various deans, faculty members, and administrative staff.
