France Embassy in Islamabad signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
with the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC) concerning
the funding by France of scholarship for Pakistani Students. The
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing ceremony was arranged by
His Excellency the Ambassador of France to Pakistan Mr. Philippe
Thiébaud at the Embassy with Chairperson HEC Dr. Javaid R. Laghari
as the chief guest. Vice Chancellors of the corresponding
universities/institutions participated in the ceremony. This
scholarship grant scheme will further strengthen the close and long
term bilateral friendship between the Government of Pakistan and
Government of France.

In Pakistan, currently, less than 8% of the 17-23 age groups are
enrolled in any form of higher education. The “Needs based
scholarships program” is one answer to this challenge. This program
will enable young people, primarily from FATA, KPK and Baluchistan,
to pursue their education in top universities/institutions of
Pakistan.
France, through its Embassy in Islamabad, is offering scholarships
to 90 promising students of 6 Pakistani Universities.
Those scholarships will be offered in the fields of Social Science,
Business and Architecture. The list of the universities includes:
Quaid-E-Azam University, Islamabad, COMSATS Institute of Technology,
Islamabad, GC University, Lahore, Institute of Management Sciences (IMSciences), Peshawar, Institute of Business and
Management, Karachi and Sardar Bahadur Khan Women University,
Quetta.
The scholarships awards are designed to cover the complete cost of
education during the entire academic program of the 90 recipients
(e.g.2-4 years for the MBA, BBA & Social Sciences) for a total cost
of 23millions PKR. The selection process will ensure that at least
25% of the awarded scholarships go to ladies, especially those
coming from areas of Pakistan where the access to higher education
is difficult.

universities, but we can’t do the same with our students who are
highly talented but cannot afford their academic expenses,” said
Vice Chancellor Prof. Khaleeq while commenting on the report.
The Vice Chancellor said that ever year, more than 2000 students
apply for financial aid at GCU and till 2010-11 maximum 400 students
were granted scholarships. “But, this year we broke all the previous
records and increased the allocation for scholarships by 150 percent
and also reduced the University’s fee by 35 percent to facilitate
students,” he added.
Prof. Khaleeq requested the Punjab Government and Higher Education
Commission of Pakistan to provide separate grants to universities
for granting scholarships and financial aid to the needy students.
He also called on philanthropists and Old Ravians to support the
needy students through the GCU Endowment Fund Trust. He expressed
his firm resolve that GCU would not leave its deserving students in
the lurch and despite all financial constraints it would make all
