BUP Scholarship for Pakistani Students 2026 — 80% Tuition Waiver

The Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP), Dhaka, is offering scholarships to students from SAARC member countries for admission to its 2026–27 academic session — including four seats specifically allocated for Pakistani applicants. This is a direct university scholarship, separate from the more widely known SAARC MBBS/BDS scholarship program that runs through HEC's own portal — this one is applied for directly with BUP itself, and HEC's role is limited to advertising the opportunity.

What the Scholarship Covers

Eligible Pakistani applicants receive an 80% tuition fee waiver, reducing the per-semester tuition fee to roughly US$180 for a maximum of two students from each SAARC country, Pakistan included. This applies to both undergraduate and Master's level programs at BUP.

Available Faculties and Departments

BUP's scholarship-eligible programs span five faculties:

  • Faculty of Arts and Social Science — Economics, Development Studies, Disaster Management & Resilience, Public Administration, Sociology, International Relations
  • Faculty of Business Studies — BBA General, Finance & Banking, Accounting & Information Systems, Marketing, Management Studies
  • Faculty of Security & Strategic Studies — International Relations, Law, Mass Communication & Journalism, Peace, Conflict & Human Rights Studies
  • Faculty of Science & Technology — Information and Communication Technology, Environmental Science, Computer Science and Engineering, Cyber Security, Data Science
  • Faculty of Medical Studies — Pharmacy

Living Costs in Dhaka

BUP's on-campus residential hall accommodation runs approximately US$30–40 per month, with food estimated at around US$50–60 per month — worth factoring in alongside the tuition waiver when budgeting for the move.

Key Dates

  • Last date to apply: 31 December 2026
  • Classes commence: 31 January 2027

How to Apply

Unlike scholarships that route through HEC's scholarship portal, this one is applied for directly with BUP — there's no HEC nomination step involved. Interested students should review the admission requirements and program details on BUP's official international students site before applying, since eligibility, fee waivers, and accommodation arrangements are all determined by the university itself, not by HEC. HEC's role here is limited to sharing the opportunity — it is not the nominating or awarding agency for this program, and carries no financial involvement in it.

For questions about admission, the fee waiver, or accommodation, Pakistani applicants should contact BUP's Office of International Affairs (OIA) directly rather than HEC, since HEC will not be able to answer program-specific queries for this scholarship.
