On 9 May 2026, ten bright young women from Bhutan departed for Bangladesh to pursue undergraduate degrees in various science disciplines, marking an important milestone in their academic and personal journeys.
The students, selected for fully funded scholarships, will now begin their higher education at the Asian University for Women. The opportunity is expected to open new pathways for learning, leadership, and long-term career development in science and related fields.
This initiative represents a significant investment in the education and empowerment of young women, many of whom may not have had the opportunity to pursue higher studies without such support. Their departure marks the beginning of a transformative journey aimed at building knowledge, confidence, and future leadership potential.
