Education Support Programme

Education is considered as the key part of a society’s growth and progress. An educated person can significantly contribute to their families and society in various aspects and fields, thus creates a stable and stimulating community. As a forward thinking bank, Prime Bank through its Foundation has shown its commitment to education as a part of its CSR strategy that can pay dividends both to society and the Bank itself. Like many other developing countries, the core issue for education policy makers in Bangladesh have been to increase access to education and boost educational attainment rates. However, tremendous progress has made in these areas over the past decades and as a responsible corporate citizen, in 2007 Prime Bank Foundation has initiated “Education Support Programme”. Under this programme financial supports are provided to underprivileged but meritorious students, in the form of monthly stipends for the persuasion of their graduation/post-graduation in public universities.
