Founding Dr. Gias Khan Memorial Scholarship
Dr. Khan dedicated his entire career for the development of the field of Marine Biology. We, the family of Dr. Khan would like to promote his scholarly contribution and support those who are similarly keen about developing their career in this field. The scholarship is initially funded through his family, while we are open to receiving donations, which will help us support more students.
The annual scholarship is open to 2 graduate students (total 50,000 BDT (700 USD approx.), 25,000 BDT each) studying in a relevant field to support their research or thesis. Successful candidates should be able to demonstrate both need and merit.
