Pakistan already has a very low literacy rate. And those who do get education until their undergraduate degree, they are unable to continue it further because of the unaffordability. For this purpose, HEC announces numerous scholarships from time to time so that many can avail themselves of the opportunity of studying as much as they want. And this time it is the Sindh HEC that has news for university students.

Yesterday, the Chief Minister of Sindh took to public scholarships worth PKR 40 million for students enrolled in both public as well as private universities. The news was announced when the CM was in a meeting concerning Sindh HEC. Attendees included the vice-chancellor of public sector universities. The students who will be given this scholarship are already decided. Sindh HEC has the list compiled.
