FOBANA Scholarship

In 2015, FOBANA had a simple but profound idea to start a Scholarship program involving FOBANA volunteers, students, parents, businesses, educational institutions, and communities to help students fulfill their college dreams. Since the inception of the FOBANA Scholarship program, we disbursed close to $100 thousand to a few hundred students across the US and overseas. We believe that no student should ever give up on their dream because of financial barriers placed in their path and this is why FOBNANA started the Scholarship program since then we have done so much good, and there is always room to do so much more with your help.

FOBANA Youth Forum

The FOBANA Youth Forum will bring an international understanding for North American Bangladeshi youth and allow them to connect with a network that spans across the world. FOBANA wants to bring first-generation Bangladeshi Americans to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of service for others. Together we want to provide service to others, promote integrity, advance world understanding, and develop community leaders. We believe in our youth, the FOBANA Youth Forum can help bridge the gap between older and younger Bangladeshi generations for a greater community.
