University of Scholars is the brainchild of few Bangladeshi educationists, researchers and philanthropists presently working in Dhaka as well as in North American Universities and Research Centers. This group came to Dhaka in 2015 with a vision to establish a new research based University in Bangladesh to provide quality higher education and to promote scholarly excellence in educational research. This idea is materialized through the formation of  Scholars.

University of Scholars is an independent, nonsectarian institution of higher learning based on American Curriculum. The university is temporarily located at Bulu Ocean Tower, 40 Kemal Ataturk Ave, Dhaka 1212. A new permanent campus is being developed near Birabo Khalpara Bazar, Rupgonj, Narayanganj.
