Science and Technology Fellowship Trust (Bengali: বিজ্ঞান ও প্রযুক্তি ফেলোশিপ ট্রাস্ট) is a Bangladesh government supported and funded scholarship program for science and technology education and research.[1][2]
History
[edit]The Trust was formed through the passage of Bangabandhu Science & Technology Trust Bill, 2016, in Parliament of Bangladesh on 16 February 2016. The trust is managed by a trustee board and headed by a Minister or State Minister.[3] The 2016 bill for the trust was introduced in parliament by Yafes Osman, the Minister of Science and Technology.[4] The Trust awarded 1554.5 million Bangladeshi taka ($18.3M as of 2020) worth of scholarships to 519 scholars from 2010 to 2020.[5]
On March 20, 2025, the interim government of Bangladesh, through an ordinance, changed its name from Bangabandhu Science and Technology Fellowship Trust to Science and Technology Fellowship Trust.[6]
