The mandate
Turn a national scholarship into a governed, scored process — not a spreadsheet.
Bangladesh's government sends its own civil servants to study at leading universities abroad, funded and administered by the Prime Minister's Office. Every application has to be scored against real, defensible criteria — academic record, English test score, job experience, university ranking — before an award is made, and before a single payment goes out in a currency and against an allowance schedule that depends on where the fellow is studying.
Challenge
Score, award and pay a national fellowship fairly, at scale.
University and country vary
Different countries, universities and rankings each carry a different cost, currency and allowance schedule.
Public money, public trust
Every award and every disbursement has to be traceable back to an official letter and a governed budget line.
Solution
One platform, from eligibility to disbursement.
Rather than a spreadsheet passed between offices, PMO runs the whole fellowship lifecycle on one Tiger Park-built system — so an award always traces back to a score, and a payment always traces back to an award.
Eligibility & Scoring
Cadre, education level, CGPA, English test and job experience are scored against published criteria before an application proceeds.
Application Workflow
A five-step application, followed by primary, viva and final shortlists, keeps every stage of selection auditable.
University & Course Matching
University ranking, course category and session data connect each fellow to a specific, tracked placement.
Award & Budget
Award letters are issued against a governed annual budget, broken down by year, item and sub-budget.
Multi-Currency Disbursement
Transactions, bank details and country-specific allowance configuration support fellows studying anywhere in the world.
Official Letters
Award and disbursement letters generate directly from the record itself, not a separate manual document.
Fellow Records
Academic, professional and service history stay attached to each fellow for the life of the fellowship.
Communication
SMS and email history keep applicants and fellows informed at every stage of a selection cycle.
Live and operating
The platform Tiger Park built, running live right now.
Even once an application session closes, this sign-in screen doesn't go dark — PM Fellowship stays live year-round, supporting the administrative work behind every fellow already in the programme.
The advantage
One scored record, from application to disbursement.
Every applicant is scored the same way, against the same published criteria, and every award traces back to that score.
Disbursement and allowance configuration follow the fellow and their university, instead of a manual calculation each time.
Award and disbursement letters generate from the system itself, so the official document and the underlying record never drift apart.
Built to extend
Built for one fellowship programme, designed to extend further.
PM Fellowship already connects eligibility, selection, award and disbursement. The same foundation has room to grow.
Alumni tracking
Extend the fellow record past graduation to track return-of-service and career outcomes.
Public eligibility checker
Publish a self-service eligibility check ahead of each application cycle, before anyone starts a full application.
Cross-agency reporting
The same Tiger One foundation used elsewhere can roll fellowship data into wider government reporting.
