This scholarship fund ensures that deserving students have the resources and opportunities to excel academically and professionally,” he stated.
Reflecting on the motivation behind this initiative, Mr. Bajwa shared, “The National Outreach Programme made my LUMS journey possible. Education is the foundation of a thriving society. Through this scholarship fund, the BSc Class of 2014 can give back to the community. I am confident that contributing and investing in education will always lead to positive changes in society.”
The NOP, a flagship initiative of LUMS launched in 2001, aligns with the University’s vision of offering premium education to talented students nationwide, regardless of their financial circumstances.
