Dear sir/madam,
I am a fourth year graduate student of Computer science in Bangladesh. As Bangladesh is a poor country, we have not enough resources for research though it is very valuable for us to perform research. We have good theoretical knowledge but our research hand is very poor. I am looking for a scholarship for my master’s degree study on related subject. Is there any way to get free scholarship on that related subject in your university or in any other institutions .
Please let me know.
I will be very grateful to you if you help me providing the sufficient informations and advices.
I will be waiting for your answer.
Thank you.
Md.Amirul Islam
