The distribution of stipends and tuition fees for students from grades six to twelve under the Prime Minister’s Education Support Trust began on Wednesday. The payments are being made as part of the Integrated Stipend Program for the 2025–26 fiscal year. The trust communicated the decision in a letter sent to all upazila and thana secondary education officers on Tuesday.

According to the letter, funds for the July–December 2025 and January–June 2026 installments are being transferred directly to the accounts of eligible students and guardians through the Government-to-Person (G2P) system using the Harmonized Stipend Program Management Information System (HSP-MIS). Beneficiaries have been requested to withdraw the funds once deposited.

The notice also stated that no cash-out charges will be deducted from the stipend amounts when withdrawn through mobile financial services. Instead, the service providers will credit the equivalent cash-out charge amount to the beneficiaries’ accounts. Students and guardians have been advised not to share account details, PINs, or one-time passwords with others.
