Malala and Oxford University announce scholarship for Baloch students
The University of Oxford and the Balochistan government have agreed to provide scholarships to deserving talented students from the province.
The agreement was formalised at a ceremony attended by Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti, and Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai. It is also supported by the Oxford Pakistan Programme (OPP) and its benefactors.

The graduate scholarships will be provided under the umbrella of the Benazir Scholarship Programme.
The programme will enable talented students from Balochistan to pursue higher education at one of the world’s most prestigious institutions with the help of full scholarship.
As the signing ceremony began, philanthropist Sarwar Khawaja donated 100,000 pounds to initiate the endowment fund.
Chief Minister’s principal secretary, Imran Zarkoon Khan, an alumnus of Oxford, also attended the ceremony and was praised for his instrumental role in initiating the scholarship programme.
