-
- Next deadline
Universities nominate, you cannot apply directly. Campus France deadline for institutions: 6 Jan 2027. Internal university deadlines are earlier and several have already passed or are close (Nantes 12 Nov 2026, Paris-Saclay 26 Nov 2026). Results from 12 Apr 2027.
- Starts
September 2027
- What it covers
EUR 1,200 per month for master's plus travel, health cover and housing help. Tuition is not covered (public universities are cheap; business schools are not).
- Spouse
No family support. Spouse visa and work rights in France for a student's partner are limited (not confirmed).
- Fit
Only if a French school nominates you within 2 to 4 weeks of 14 Nov 2026. An age limit applies (commonly quoted as 29 for master's in the call year, not confirmed). Marginal.
-
- Next deadline
Open. Step 1: apply to up to 4 eligible master's on universityadmissions.se by 15 Jan 2027 (the window opened 16 Oct 2026). Step 2: SI scholarship portal, 8 to 24 Feb 2027, closes 2:59 PM CET (7:59 PM Dhaka) on 24 Feb. Results 22 Apr 2027. The eligible-programme list and forms were published 13 Nov 2026.
- Starts
Late August 2027
- What it covers
Full tuition paid direct to the university, SEK 12,000 per month living allowance, SEK 15,000 travel grant. No health cover and no family grant (the official page says so in words).
- Spouse
The scholarship pays nothing for family. Sweden does allow a student's spouse a residence permit with work rights, but you must show extra maintenance funds for your spouse. The current amount is not confirmed, check migrationsverket.se.
- Fit
Strong on paper. Bangladesh is one of the 34 eligible countries (si.se). You need 3,000 hours of work from at most 3 employers before Feb 2027. About 2.8 years of full-time work gives roughly 5,000+ hours, so you meet it. Leadership evidence is required (signed and stamped forms).
Fields are limited to Governance, Public Health, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and STEM. Business analytics, data science, information systems and innovation or entrepreneurship programmes fit; pure finance does not. Very competitive (about 350 awards worldwide). SEK 12,000 a month is tight for two until your spouse works.
-
Finland university scholarships / tuition waivers (incl. Finland Scholarship at some universities)
Finland- Next deadline
Joint application on Studyinfo.fi: 7 to 21 Jan 2027 (official Study in Finland page). The scholarship is requested inside the same application. Some universities run separate earlier windows from Dec 2026.
- Starts
August/September 2027
- What it covers
Usually a 50% or 100% tuition waiver only, not living costs (Study in Finland official page). Tuition is EUR 9,000 to 20,000 a year. Helsinki gives mostly 50% awards; Oulu lists 50%; Tampere gives no 100%; Turku stopped tuition scholarships for new fee-payers (secondary sources).
- Spouse
Not a scholarship matter. Finland gives a student's spouse a residence permit with the right to work. The current income requirement is not confirmed, check migri.fi.
- Fit
Good academic fit and a real chance at a 50 to 100% waiver with your CGPA 3.79. Not fully funded: living money for two still has to be shown and carried. Strong candidate if a high waiver lands.
-
Manaaki New Zealand Scholarships
New Zealand- Next deadline
Portal 1 to 31 Mar 2027, but not relevant, see fit.
- Starts
2028
- What it covers
Full tuition, living allowance, flights, health cover.
- Spouse
n/a
- Fit
Not eligible: Bangladesh is not on the official eligible-country list (the Asian list is Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Viet Nam). Remove from the plan.
-
Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) scholarships
EU (2-4 countries per programme)- Next deadline
Open as of 14 Nov 2026. Each programme has its own deadline, mostly between Dec 2026 and end Jan 2027. A few run to March 2027 and some already closed in Sep to Oct 2026. Pick programmes from the official catalogue in the week of 14 Nov 2026.
- Starts
September 2027
- What it covers
Participation costs (tuition), plus a contribution to travel, visa and living. The monthly figure is widely quoted as EUR 1,400 for up to 24 months. The official EU page does not state the figure, so EUR 1,400 is not confirmed.
- Spouse
No family money. Your spouse needs a separate dependant visa in each country of the mobility track, and you move country every semester or year. This is the hardest option for bringing a spouse with stable work rights.
- Fit
Good academically (your CGPA 3.79, your IELTS 7.5, relevant work, 4-year degree already awarded). You can apply to several programmes at once (analytics, data science, digital business, innovation, economics and finance tracks exist). Acceptance for the scholarship is low (often 2 to 5%).
Poor fit with the goal of having your spouse with you from day one and settling in one country.
-
Stipendium Hungaricum
Hungary- Next deadline
The 2027/28 call is not yet visible on the official apply page as of 14 Nov 2026 (it still shows 2026/27, deadline 15 Jan 2026). Expected: opens Nov 2026, closes about 15 Jan 2027, 2:00 PM CET. This is not confirmed until published. The Bangladesh sending-partner application is due the same date.
- Starts
September 2027
- What it covers
Tuition-free study, monthly stipend, accommodation contribution or dorm place, health cover. The amounts are not shown on the official page and are not confirmed; the stipend is known to be small.
- Spouse
No family support. Hungary's rules on family reunification for students are restrictive (not confirmed). Treat as weak for spouse work rights and for PR.
- Fit
You are eligible and it is realistic to win (Bangladesh is a sending partner), and Hungary is cheap to live in. Weak on the real goals: spouse work rights and a path to permanent residence. Backup only.
-
Türkiye Bursları
Türkiye- Next deadline
Expected 10 Jan to 20 Feb 2027 (YTB's usual calendar). The 2027 dates are not yet officially confirmed.
- Starts
September/October 2027 (often after a Turkish prep year)
- What it covers
Tuition, monthly stipend, accommodation, health cover, one-time flight, one year Turkish language course.
- Spouse
No family support. Spouse work rights are not confirmed and generally weak.
- Fit
Eligible and winnable, one application only per cycle. Poor fit for English-taught business analytics, spouse work rights and PR. Low priority.
-
ADB-Japan Scholarship Program (ADB-JSP)
Japan and other Asia-Pacific partner universities- Next deadline
Per university. Ritsumeikan APU second round about 8 Jan 2027 for Sept 2027; University of Tokyo GSFS about 10 Dec 2026. These are third-party dates, so confirm on each university page. The Nagoya GSID April 2027 intake is closed.
- Starts
April or September/October 2027 depending on university
- What it covers
Full tuition, monthly subsistence and housing allowance, books, medical cover, travel (per the ADB programme design; exact figures not confirmed).
- Spouse
No family allowance (ADB-JSP is single-scholar funding; not confirmed). The Japan dependant visa allows up to 28 hours a week of work with permission.
- Fit
Bangladesh is an eligible ADB member. A long-standing ADB rule (not confirmed for this round) requires at least 2 years of full-time work after a university degree. With your degree dated May 2026 you likely do not meet it yet. Scholars must return home after study. Poor fit for PR.
-
Global Korea Scholarship (GKS-G, graduate)
South Korea- Next deadline
The 2027 graduate guideline is not yet published. Past Bangladesh embassy-track windows: 12 to 25 Feb 2026 and 21 Feb to 15 Mar 2024, so expect February to March 2027 (not confirmed).
- Starts
Language year from about September 2027, degree from 2028
- What it covers
Tuition, monthly stipend, airfare, settlement allowance, health cover, one year Korean language training.
- Spouse
No family support. Your spouse cannot realistically work on a dependant visa. Weak.
- Fit
Eligible (age under 40, GPA above 80%). One language year delays everything; weak on spouse work and PR. Backup only.
-
Australia Awards Scholarships
Australia- Next deadline
The 2027 intake closed 30 Apr 2026. The next round (2028 intake) is expected 1 Feb to 30 Apr 2027. The regional programme site says it 'reopens in early 2027'; Bangladesh-specific dates are not yet posted.
- Starts
January-February 2028 at the earliest
- What it covers
Full tuition, return airfares, contribution to living expenses, health cover (OSHC). Scholars must return home for a minimum of two years after study.
- Spouse
Family can accompany at own cost on the scholar's visa with work rights (general Australia Awards policy, not confirmed).
- Fit
You are eligible to apply, but the compulsory two-year return home blocks the PR goal for years and the start is 2028. Bangladesh awards favour public sector, NGO and development profiles. Conflicts with starting as soon as possible and with using your existing Wollongong offer.
-
- Next deadline
Per course, applied to the university one year ahead. Most 2027/28 deadlines fell Aug to Oct 2026 and are closed. A few courses run to Dec 2026: check the DAAD 2027/28 course list PDF. Next full cycle: mid-2027 for 2028/29.
- Starts
October 2027 (or 2028 for the next cycle)
- What it covers
Monthly DAAD stipend (about EUR 992 for master's, not confirmed), travel and health cover. DAAD normally pays family and rent supplements in this programme (not confirmed).
- Spouse
Your spouse can join on a family reunion visa with work rights in Germany (general rule; confirm with the German Embassy Dhaka).
- Fit
Needs at least 2 years of professional experience (met) and a degree not older than 6 years (met). The course list is development-focused (economics, public policy, a few business and IT courses). Mostly missed for 2027; realistic for 2028.
-
- Next deadline
Closed for 2027/28 (the window was 1 Jun to 31 Jul 2026). Next: about 1 Jun to 31 Jul 2027 for a 2028 start.
- Starts
German course April 2028, studies October 2028
- What it covers
Tuition waiver, monthly stipend, travel, health cover, 6-month German course.
- Spouse
Family supplements are possible under DAAD rules (not confirmed).
- Fit
Public-policy degrees only; weak match to a business analytics or finance profile. Skip.
-
Chevening Scholarships
United Kingdom- Next deadline
Closed for 2027/28 (closed 6 Oct 2026, per the Chevening Bangladesh page). Next window about Aug to early Oct 2027 for 2028/29 study.
- Starts
September 2028 at the earliest
- What it covers
Fully funded one-year master's: tuition, living allowance, flights, visa and arrival/departure allowances. Nothing for dependants.
- Spouse
No dependant funding. The UK no longer lets taught-master's students bring dependants on the Student route unless the course is research-based or government-sponsored. Government-sponsored scholars may still qualify; confirm on gov.uk.
- Fit
Not eligible yet. Chevening counts only work done after the undergraduate degree is completed (2,800 hours over at least two years). For the cycle that closed 6 Oct 2026 the degree had to be finished by Oct 2024. With your degree awarded May 2026, the earliest eligible application is around the Aug to Oct 2028 round.
It also has a two-year return-home rule.
-
Commonwealth Master's Scholarships (CSC)

- What it covers
Tuition, monthly stipend, airfare, thesis and arrival allowances. Family allowance only for widowed or single-parent scholars in some schemes.
- Spouse
No spouse funding; return-home expectation.
- Fit
Eligible in principle (Bangladesh is on the list) but nomination favours academics and the public sector; missed for 2027.
-
Fulbright Foreign Student Program
United States- Next deadline
Closed for 2027-28 (the Bangladesh deadline was 11 Jul 2026). Next call expected about April to July 2027 for 2028-29.

Tuition, stipend, airfare, health cover for a master's.
- Spouse
A J-2 spouse can accompany you and apply for work authorisation; no funding for dependants. Two-year home-residency rule after the degree.

Eligible, but the 2028 start and the two-year home rule block PR. Not for this plan.
-

- What it covers
Tuition, travel, health cover, living expenses for the full programme.
