AIUB's Commitment to Inclusivity: Expanding Educational Access and Career
Opportunities for Economically Disadvantaged Students
The American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB) is dedicated to
broadening educational access, including its goal to increase admissions for
students from the bottom financial quintile. This initiative aligns with
AIUB's commitment to promoting inclusivity and equal opportunity in higher
education. Recognizing the financial challenges many talented students face,
AIUB aims to extend its support to more students from economically
disadvantaged backgrounds, providing them with the opportunity to excel
academically and professionally.
AIUB has already demonstrated its commitment to student success and career
readiness through initiatives such as the AIUB Job Fair 2023. Held on
December 9, 2023, the fair brought together 111 national and multinational
companies, offering a platform for both students and alumni to explore job
opportunities and network with industry leaders. Events like the job fair
are essential in supporting AIUB’s mission, as they help bridge the gap
between academia and industry, ultimately benefiting all students, including
those from financially disadvantaged backgrounds.
As AIUB continues its efforts to increase educational access, its
initiatives for economically underprivileged students will also include
scholarships, fee waivers, and career support, ensuring that all students
have the chance to succeed regardless of financial constraints. Through
these efforts, AIUB envisions a more inclusive educational environment that
fosters growth and prepares students for meaningful careers.
