Brac university to continue assistance fund for students

Brac University is going to continue Student Assistance Fund for another semester (Spring 2021).

Vice-Chancellor Professor Vincent Chang announced the decision to continue this special support for students, considering the difficulties they are still facing due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a Brac University statement said today.

He emphasised the university's commitment to keeping the students at the centre of all initiatives.

"Being a student-centric university, we go the extra mile for the betterment of our students, particularly in difficult times," said Chang.  

The components of the fund will be similar to the previous semesters. Every student will receive a 100 percent non-tuition fee waiver and a 10 percent tuition scholarship. On a need basis, a limited number of students may receive tuition scholarships of more than 10 percent and up to 100 percent.

Brac University has already committed a total of USD 5 million (Tk 43 crore) to the Student Assistance Fund for Summer and Fall semesters in 2020.
