All scholarships

What it covers

Tuition, a living allowance, health insurance and travel, for master's and doctoral study, with programmes for member countries and for Muslim communities in non-member countries.

Who can apply

Bangladesh is an IsDB member country, so Bangladeshi applicants apply under the member-country track. Priority goes to subjects tied to development needs — science, engineering, agriculture, medicine and public health.

How to apply

  1. Read the current call and confirm which track and which subjects are open.
  2. Register and complete the IsDB online application within the window.
  3. Supply admission evidence or a plan for admission as the call requires.
  4. Shortlisted candidates are contacted for further documents and interviews.

Documents you will need

  • Transcripts and degree certificates
  • Admission letter or proof of application
  • Research proposal for doctoral applicants
  • Two recommendation letters
  • Passport copy
  • Medical certificate

Tips from successful applicants

  • The subject priorities are real: an application outside them rarely progresses, however strong.
  • Applicants are expected to return and work in their home country after the degree.
  • The online system closes exactly on the deadline; there is no grace period.
