Their indomitable stories of success and determination of the students in spite of financial hardships touch the hearts of many philanthropists and responsible corporate organizations like BRAC Bank.

The scholarship has been awarded to 150 talented students of the faculty, which is the largest scholarship program in terms of the number of beneficiaries at the university funded by any corporate organization.

Deputy Managing Director & CRO of BRAC Bank Limited Chowdhury Akhtar Asif handed over a cheque to Dhaka University’s Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Md. Akhtaruzzaman at a ceremony held at the Business Studies Faculty on July 4, 2019.
