In a positive development for students hailing from Balochistan, the Oxford Pakistan Programme (OPP) has announced scholarships for students of the province.

Speaking at Oxford University’s annual May Dinner & Fundraiser at the Lady Margaret Hall on Friday, Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti announced the inauguration of a new graduate scholarship aimed at empowering a deserving Balochistan student to pursue STEM subjects at the varsity.

Under this program, talented students from Balochistan will receive full scholarships to pursue higher education at Oxford University, one of the world’s most prestigious institutions, according to the handout issued by the press secretary to the chief minister of Balochistan.

The program aims to provide access to quality education and empower the youth of Balochistan.

It is yet another milestone achieved by the incumbent PPP government, striving hard under the supervision of Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Bugti remarked.
