KARACHI, April 10: Two Jinnah scholars John Coelho and Tauseef Kazi, who had received a scholarship from the Quaid-i-Azam Aligarh Education Trust for studies in the United States, have completed their post-graduate studies in dentistry.
They have also repaid the entire amount of the scholarship so that the facility could be extended to other needy and deserving students.
The trust came into existence by a judgment of former chief justice Abdul Hayee Qureshi (late) of the Sindh High Court in 1994, and S. Sharifuddin Pirzada, Justice Z.H. Channa and Locate H. Merchant were appointed as trustees.
The trust received funds from the administrators of the estate of the Quaid-i-Azam under his will amounting to Rs10.8 million, which formed the corpus of the trust, which now stands at Rs16.713 million.
