PM’s scholarships

Published November 10, 2019

I WOULD like to thank the prime minister for launching the largest ever needs-based undergraduate scholarship programme for Pakistani students. He announced that within four years 50,000 scholarships will be awarded to students annually among them, 50 per cent of scholarships being for women.

It will be helpful at the university level to students belonging to poor families and suffering financially.

Owing to scholarships, they can study further.
