আমাকে কেউ কেউ জিজ্ঞেস করেছিলেন আমি এত স্কলারশিপ, শিক্ষাবৃত্তি ও অন্যান্য ফান্ডিং এর তথ্য কোথায় পাই? আজ আমি আমার অভিজ্ঞতা শেয়ার করছি আপনাদের সাথে।

১) একাডেমিক সোসাইটিঃ প্রথমত আমি কিছু একাডেমিক সোসাইটি এর মেম্বার। যেমনঃ আমেরিকান জিওগ্রাফিক্যাল ইউনিওন, আমেরিকান সোশিওলজিক্যাল এ্যাসোসিয়েশন, ব্রিটিশ সোশিওলজিক্যাল এ্যাসোসিয়েশন ইত্যাদি। আমি তাদের মেম্বার হিসেবে নিয়মিত একাডেমিক প্রোফেশনালদের মেইল পেয়ে থাকি। এছাড়া প্রতিটি এসোসিয়েশন কিংবা সোসাইটিগুলি সাপ্তাহিক, পাক্ষিক কিংবা মাসিক নিউজলেটার পাঠিয়ে থাকে। এর মাধ্যমেও এইধরনের নিউজগুলি পেয়ে থাকি।

২) প্রফেশনাল সোসাইটিঃ এছাড়া বিভিন্ন প্রোফেশনাল ফোরাম রয়েছে যেখানে পৃথিবীজুড়ে একই ধরণের প্রোফেশনে এবং সেক্টরে যারা কাজ করছেন তারা নিয়মিতভাবে নিজেদের মধ্যে যোগাযোগ রক্ষা করেন। এই মাধ্যমেও এইরকম সুযোগগুলি খোঁজ করা যায়। গুগলে কীওয়ার্ড লিখে সার্চ করলেই সেটা পাবেন।

৩) কনফারেন্স মেইলিং লিস্টঃ আমি অল্প কিছু একাডেমিক কনফারেন্সে অংশ নিয়েছি। এইসব কনফারেন্স শেষে অনেকসময় আয়োজকরা জিমেইল কিংবা অন্য ইমেইল সার্ভারে গ্রুপ মেসেজিং/ইমেইলিং এর একটা মাধ্যম তৈরি করেন একই সাথে অংশগ্রহণকারীদের নিয়ে একটা অনলাইন কমিউনিটি এর মত তৈরি করেন যার মাধ্যমে এইধরনের তথ্য পাওয়া সম্ভব।

৪) ইউনিভার্সিটির জব ওয়েবসাইট পেইজঃ প্রত্যেক বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়, বিশ্ববিদ্যায়ের বিভিন্ন ফ্যাকাল্টি, স্কুল, ডিপার্টমেন্ট, রিসার্চ ইন্সটিটিউট ইত্যাদির জব/ রিক্রুট্মেন্ট পেইজ থাকে। এখানে আপনি আপনার বিষয় কিংবা টপিক সিলেক্ট করে পরবর্তী জব এলার্ট সেট করে নিতে পারবেন আপনার ইমেইল এড্রেস ব্যবহার করে।

৫) প্রোফাশনাল জব পোর্টালঃ বিভিন্ন প্রোফেশনাল জব পোর্টাল যেমন রিসার্চগেট, লিংকডইন ইত্যাদি ওয়েবসাইটে এইধরণের অপরচুনিটিগুলো পোস্ট করা হয়ে থাকে।

৬) সোশ্যাল মিডিয়াঃ আজকের দিনে স্কলারশিপ সার্চ করার আরেকটি বড় মাধ্যম টুইটার, ফেসবুক, লিঙ্কডিনের মতো সোশ্যাল মিডিয়া সাইটগুলি। প্রোফেসররা নিজেদের প্রোফাইলে এধরণের জব এডভার্ট পোস্ট করে থাকেন। তাই কীওয়ার্ড দিয়ে সার্চ করেও সোশ্যাল মিডিয়া সাইটগুলিতেও এইধরনের তথ্য পাওয়া যেতে পারে। এছাড়া ফেসবুকের মত প্ল্যাটফর্মে স্টাডি ও স্কলারশিপ সম্পর্কিত গ্রুপগুলি আরেকটি বড় মাধ্যম।

৭) স্কলারশিপ ওয়েবসাইটঃ এর বাইরে কিছু স্কলারশিপ ওয়েবপোর্টাল রয়েছে যারা এইধরণের সুযোগগুলি পোস্ট করে।

নিচে স্কলারশিপ সম্পর্কিত দরকারি কিছু ওয়েবসাইটের তালিকা দিলামঃ
