Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology will provide full free scholarships to up to 40 female students from Gaza in Palestine, and provide accommodation facilities.
AUST vice-chancellor (in-charge) professor Mohammed Mahbubur Rahman assured the ambassador of the State of Palestine in Bangladesh Yousef SY Ramadan about the readiness of the university to accept qualified students, said a press release.
Ambassador Ramadan met with AUST VC (in-charge) on Thursday. At that time, Mahbubur Rahman strongly condemned the barbaric and horrific attacks, massacres, and inhumane torture by the Israeli occupying forces in Palestine, especially on the people of Gaza.
He also pledged a homely and congenial environment for Palestine female students to pursue their education despite the atrocities they face at home and open a new horizon of friendship and support.
Professor Mohammad SAA Kiwan, founder head of civil engineering department at AUST served at some time as the ambassador of the Palestine Liberation Organisation in Dhaka.
