Hi everyone! I'm Syed Nazmus Zawad, a Bangladeshi student currently pursuing my Master’s in E-Commerce Management at Wuhan University, China, on a Fully Funded Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC). I'm passionate about education, STEM, community development, and helping fellow students navigate the often confusing world of international scholarships because I've been there myself.
🎓 My Scholarship Journey (So Far):
Over the past few years, I've been fortunate to receive and be selected for several international opportunities, and I love sharing what I've learned along the way:
✅ Fully Funded Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC) — Wuhan University, China (Current)
✅ Full Tuition Fee Scholarship — University of Oulu, Finland
✅ Think Big Scholarship — University of Bristol, UK
✅ Partial Scholarships for Master's Studies — Multiple Universities in the USA
✅Multiple admission offers from Italian Universities
✅ ASEF Youth Leadership Summit 6.0 — Osaka, Japan (Selected as the only participant from Bangladesh among 10,000+ applicants)
✅ UNLEASH Global Talent, India 2022 — Selected from 19,000+ applicants worldwide
✅ Winter School on Development in Practice — University of Dhaka × Friendship NGO
✅ Aspire Leadership Program — Harvard University (Aspire Institute)
🌍 International Experience:
My journey has taken me across borders from studying in China and attending summits in Japan and India, to engaging with global leaders at UNLEASH and ASEF. These experiences have shaped my perspective on development, education, and cross-cultural collaboration. I've learned that scholarships are not just about funding, they're about building networks, gaining exposure, and growing as a global citizen.
💼 Beyond the Classroom:
I'm a results-driven professional with experience in program management, event coordination and community development. As a Program Executive at the EMK Center (an American Space of the US Embassy, Dhaka), I managed 23+ STEM events and worked with 20+ stakeholders. I'm also the Founding Member of "Bondi-Pathshala," an ed-tech platform that has reached 50,000+ students across Bangladesh. During COVID-19, I was honored with the Best Volunteer Award by BYLC for my contributions to accessible education. Now as the Head & COO, I am also leading the first social e-commerce platform of Bangladesh, Selaighor.
🗣️ Languages & Skills:
Bengali (Native), English (C1 - Fluent), Chinese (HSK 3 - Intermediate), Hindi & Urdu (Intermediate)
MS Office, Power BI, Python, RapidMiner, Project Management, Social Media Strategy
💡 Why I Share:
I believe that information and mentorship can change lives. Many talented students miss out on opportunities simply because they don't know where to look or how to apply. I'm here to share my experiences, answer questions, and help others on their own scholarship journeys because every application is a learning experience, and every rejection is a step closer to the right opportunity.
