USAID SCHOLARSHIPS
The Pak-USAID
Merit and Needs based Scholarship Program Phase-II is focused on providing
opportunities for access to higher education especially to under privileged
candidates who, despite possessing academic merit, are unable to finance their
education. The scholarship is not restricted to tuition only, but extends to accommodation
and living expenses.
The Executive Committee of
the National Economic Council (ECNEC) has approved the program at a total cost
of Rs. 2,954.808 million in its meeting held on 6th September 2013. The Project
is funded by Government of United States of America as Grant in Aid.
The Phase-I of the program was
initiated in 2004 at eleven (11) universities with scope of 1807 scholarships.
It is the pride of the program that all the scholarships are awarded, 94
percent of the scholarship recipients had graduated in the semester they
expected to graduate.
