A total of 24 talented individuals have received commonwealth scholarships from Bangladesh in top-notch UK universities like the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, University College London, University of Warwick and University of Edinburgh, reports BSS.

The British Council on Monday organised a pre-departure briefing for the Commonwealth scholars awarded in 2023 from Bangladesh in the British High Commissioner Sarah Cooke residence.

All the Commonwealth Scholarship schemes are highly competitive, and candidates whose applications are outstanding across the board become successful. 

The events aimed at celebrating the success of the scholarship recipients, allowing them to gather essential information and guidance from the Commonwealth Scholarship Alumni to ensure a smooth transition to life in the UK and demonstrate the positive impact of the Commonwealth Scholarship programme.

Until now, about 1,800 scholars from Bangladesh have benefited from this scholarship, said British Council director Tom Miscioscia.
