DSHE Seeks SSC Pass Info for 2025 Scholarship

The Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE) has requested detailed information from all education boards to facilitate the allocation of merit and general scholarships under the revenue budget for regular students who passed the 2025 SSC and equivalent examinations. The directive was issued in a letter sent to education board chairpersons on Thursday, August 7, 2025.

The DSHE has instructed boards to submit data in a prescribed format, including the total number of regular students who appeared for the SSC exams, the number of students who passed, those who achieved a GPA-5, and those who passed without a GPA-5.

Annually, the government awards 10,500 scholarships based on HSC results, comprising 1,125 merit scholarships and 9,375 general scholarships. Merit scholarship recipients receive Tk 825 monthly and a one-time annual payment of Tk 1,800, while general scholarship holders get Tk 375 monthly and Tk 750 annually. Although the letter does not specify the number of SSC scholarships, similar criteria are expected to apply, based on academic performance.
