"The U.S. government through USAID has decided to expand the Merit and Needs Based Scholarship Program through HEC by providing an additional $23.1 million to benefit 3,000 more young and talented Pakistanis. Eighteen additional universities have been included and new fields of study will allow Pakistani youth to pursue degrees in the most sought after fields of studies to meet the needs of the job market”, said Gregory Gottlieb, Mission Director, USAID. He added that “half of these scholarships have been set aside for women, and to help ensure that we achieve this goal four women-only universities have been added to the expanded program”.
