Sonargaon University Offers BDT 1.3 Crore Scholarship Package Based on Merit and Skills Over GPA

Sonargaon University (SU) has launched a merit- and skill-based scholarship initiative worth nearly BDT 13 million, moving beyond traditional GPA-centric evaluations. Under this program, 64 students across 22 academic programs will receive scholarships under three distinct categories for the Spring 2027 semester. To mark the occasion, the skill-based scholarship scheme titled ‘SU Future Leader-2027’ and the ‘Spring Admission Fair-2027’ were officially inaugurated at the university’s Green Road campus in the capital.

According to university sources, a total of 64 students will receive awards under three categories under the ‘SU Future Leader-2027’ program. This includes 21 fully funded scholarships, 21 tuition fee waivers, and 22 semester fee waivers. Under the fully funded scholarship category, selected students will receive a 100% waiver on both tuition and semester fees for the entire duration of their degree program. Additionally, admission fees and any fees paid for the first semester will be fully refunded.

In the tuition fee waiver category, students will be exempted from all tuition fees throughout the program. In contrast, the semester fee waiver category will cover all semester fees for the full duration of the program. Competitions will be conducted separately for each program, allowing applicants to compete directly against peers in their respective disciplines. However, for the LLB program, scholarships will be awarded exclusively on semester fees.

Detailed guidelines and eligibility criteria for the scholarship program are available on the official university websites at scholarship.su.edu.bd and www.su.edu.bd.

The Vice-Chancellor attended the inauguration ceremony of the admission fair, along with Professor Shamim Ara Hassan, Pro-Vice-Chancellor; Professor Bulbul Ahmed; Treasurer, Professor Dr. Mohammad Ekramul Islam; and Deans, faculty members, and senior officials from various departments.
