bKash grants scholarships for midwifery diploma course students

To facilitate educational opportunities for financially challenged yet talented students and to nurture a skilled workforce in the midwifery sector, bKash is awarding scholarships to 20 students enrolled in the Midwifery Education Program at the BRAC James P. Grant School of Public Health, BRAC University.

As part of this scholarship initiative, the country's largest mobile financial services provider will cover tuition fees for 20 students, divided into two batches of 10 each, over a six-year span. bKash has joined BRAC University's initiative to contribute to the advancement of midwifery education, aiming to enhance the provision of safe maternity services.

In this regard, an agreement was signed between the two organisations today (Tuesday) at the Midwifery Education Program campus in the capital, Mohammadpur. Major General Sheikh Md. Monirul Islam (retd), Chief External & Corporate Affairs Officer of bKash, and Dr Laura Reichenbach, Dean, BRAC James P Grant School of Public Health, BRAC University, signed the agreement on behalf of their respective organisations.
