Thirty female students from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa have been awarded fully funded master's scholarships under the gender component of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Cities Improvement Project (KPCIP). These students have embarked on their academic journey to the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Bangkok.
Selected through a highly competitive process from a pool of applicants across the province, the scholars will pursue advanced studies in various disciplines crucial to the region's sustainable development. The scholarships, funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through its Asian Development Fund (ADF) grant, cover all expenses.
"The program, reserved exclusively for female candidates, is a testament to the government's commitment to empowering women through higher education and professional development in critical fields," stated Muhammad Daud Khan, Secretary of the Local Government, Elections, and Rural Development Department (LGE&RDD). The students departed from Islamabad International Airport for Bangkok.
The Secretary and KPCIP Project Director, Syed Zafar Ali Shah, are visiting the AIT on an invitation from ADB and the university.
