MORAD SHAKER BANGLADESH ANGEL SCHOLARSHIP
মোরাদ শেকার বাংলাদেশ এঞ্জেল স্কলারশিপ
A founder-funded education and dignity initiative for children in Bangladesh facing genuine hardship—especially fatherless children being raised by single mothers.
Founder-funded by Morad Shaker. No public donations are requested.
The founder / who we are
Founded to protect a child’s hope after loss.
The Morad Shaker Bangladesh Angel Scholarship was created and funded by Morad Shaker through Shaker International Scholarship Programs. It is designed to support carefully verified children whose education and future are threatened by family loss and financial hardship. Every child must be treated with dignity, privacy, and fairness.
Eligibility
Who qualifies
Fatherless or orphaned children
Main priority: a child who lost their father and is being raised by a single mother. Other orphaned children may be considered case by case.
Genuine financial hardship
The family must face genuine financial hardship and need scholarship support.
Truthful information and verification
Families must provide accurate information and cooperate with private verification. False information, exaggeration, or manipulation ends consideration.
