Higher Education and Scholarship

JCF staff had taken a unique initiative few years back to contribute from their monthly salary and generate an education fund which is named after Professor Sharif Hossain, who was a renowned educationist and the founder chairman of JCF. All staff of JCF donated 1% of their monthly salary and accumulated Tk. 26,747,219. This fund is being used to provide scholarships to the poor meritorious students from graduation level to highest level of education in the country. This is known as Professor Sharif Hossain Education Fund.  A total of 37 students are now receiving this scholarship and 92 students have completed their education.

JCF has also taken initiative to provide ‘Bangabandhu Higher Education Scholarship’ in 2020 for the children of its poor Microfinance Programme members. A total of 13 students will receive this support until they complete their Masters or Equivalent degree.
