The English Access Scholarship Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and implemented by JAAGO Foundation Trust, is designed to equip students with essential English language skills to enhance their academic and career prospects. The program focuses on expanding educational opportunities by improving English proficiency, leadership skills, and global awareness, ensuring that students are prepared for future challenges and opportunities.

The initiative is implemented in Mymensingh and Rangpur, two regions in Bangladesh where educational development is of priority. In Mymensingh, the program provides students with language training and academic resources to help them overcome challenges. Meanwhile, in Rangpur, the program focuses on enhancing English instruction and providing modern learning methods that prepare students for competitive academic and professional environments.

Through a structured and skill-based curriculum, the program strengthens critical thinking, communication, and leadership skills while exposing students to American culture, global perspectives, and democratic values. By developing proficiency in English, participants gain the tools necessary for higher education, professional development, and international engagement.
