UAE announces scholarship program for Pakistani students

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced a scholarship program to provide higher education opportunities for students from Balochistan.

The students were selected after written examinations from various districts of Balochistan. Among the 25 selected students, 5 are female. The scholarship recipients will pursue their education at some of the best educational institutions in the UAE.

The objective of this scholarship is to provide the youth of Pakistan, especially Balochistan, with an opportunity to receive education on a global level. The scholarship recipients expressed their gratitude to the governments of Pakistan and the UAE, as well as the Pakistan Army, for providing them with this educational opportunity.

The students mentioned that this scholarship marks a significant milestone in their educational journey, and they plan to use this opportunity to bring pride to their country and province.

Earlier, the Sindh government has announced scholarships for six deserving students to study at the Oxford University, marking a significant step in the Benazir Bhutto Graduate Scholarship.

The announcement came after a memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed in London, officially facilitating these opportunities.

The MOU was signed in the presence of Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, Chairman of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), who highlighted the importance of education and empowerment during the ceremony.

Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah revealed that three male and three female students from Sindh would receive these scholarships annually, in collaboration with Oxford Pakistan.

Previously, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif approved expansion of the Honhaar Scholarship Scheme for students from other provinces.
