FAISALABAD: Interloop Limited, in collaboration with the Oxford Pakistan Programme (OPP) at the University of Oxford, has announced the launch of the Interloop Oxford Graduate Scholarship, a fully-funded opportunity enabling outstanding Pakistani students to pursue graduate studies at one of the world’s leading universities.

Under this partnership, the scholarship will be awarded annually to a highly-talented student from Pakistan. The Interloop Group will contribute 60per cent of the total cost of the scholarship, which the OPP will combine with additional philanthropic support to provide full funding, covering both tuition fees and living expenses throughout the duration of the Master’s or DPhil programme at the University of Oxford.

According to an Interloop press release, the initiative seeks to expand access to world-class higher education for qualified Pakistani students and strengthen academic linkages between Pakistan and the University of Oxford.

The scholarship is open to Pakistani nationals who have secured admission to a full-time graduate programme at Oxford.

While candidates of all genders may apply, preference will be given to female applicants and students from underprivileged backgrounds in order to promote inclusive access to global academic opportunities.
