Finding Undergraduate Scholarships for Bangladeshi Students in the U.S.

I'm a high school student from Bangladesh looking to apply to colleges in the U.S. next year. Does anyone know of any scholarships specifically for Bangladeshi or international students that I should consider?

Sure! There are many scholarships out there that you can explore. A lot of American universities offer scholarships to international students to increase diversity on their campuses.

Several universities such as University of Oregon, Michigan State University, University of Minnesota, and University of Iowa have specific scholarships for international applicants, which you might qualify for with a strong application.

In addition to the college-specific scholarships, there are several organizations in the U.S. providing scholarships targeting international students, like the American Association of University Women (AAUW), which offers fellowships for international women students, and Fulbright Foreign Student Program, fully funded scholarships for gifted international students.

Furthermore, some scholarships are specifically for students from Bangladesh or Asia. For instance, there's the Asian Pacific Fund, which has various scholarships accessible to Asian students but the eligibility criteria varies for each scholarship so it’s best to look into the requirements of each scholarship.

Remember that the application processes for these scholarships can be competitive and might require you to submit essays, personal statements, or detailed plans about your proposed study. Therefore, the earlier you start exploring these opportunities and preparing your applications, the better chance you have to secure a scholarship! Although these are not easy to get, these are real opportunities that you should definitely go for.
