Among them, Turkey’s President and Malaysia’s Prime Minister extended their support. However, one area that was left untouched was that of education. Finally, Imran Khan has taken great steps towards equipping the talented youth with the right resources for a bright future.

These scholarships will be awarded to students that are admitted to any public sector university on merit and their family’s income comes “below poverty threshold”. In addition to this, this programme also encourages the differently-abled students to apply including those who hail from rural or remote areas. The scholarship will cover the tuition fees and provide students with a stipend. The deadline to apply for these scholarships is December 10.
People laud the Prime Minister’s efforts towards assisting the needy-yet-talented students of Pakistan!

This is the way forwards. Instead of building roads that unemployed travel on.
Let’s build bridges towards employment and education.

There is no greater investment than into the young minds that are the future of Pakistan. No child should be deprived of education because of their difficult financial standing. Moreover, basic education should be free across all schools. May the able minds of this country find the best opportunities with the help of these scholarships.
