Access to quality higher education is a cornerstone of progress and a guarantee of a bright future. However, for many Pakistani students, university education remains a distant dream due to the high cost of tuition and the limited number of vacancies in public universities. The University of Management and Technology (UMT), recently ranked as No. 1 Private Sector University of Pakistan by the Times Higher Education (THE) Rankings 2023, is one institution that is helping youth from across Pakistan continue their higher education journey through some of the best higher education scholarships in the country.
UMT offers a wide range of scholarships for BS programs, including merit-based scholarships, need-based financial aid, alumni scholarships, remote area scholarships, sports and extra-curricular scholarships, scholarships for orphans, differently-abled students’ scholarships, Justice AR Cornelius Scholarship, Khuram Murad Scholarship, and several others.
UMT also offers a number of scholarships for MS/MPhil programs, such as experienced-based scholarships and corporate group discounts.
Over the last thirty years, UMT has cumulatively granted scholarships worth more than PKR 9 billion that have benefited over 25,000 students. This is a remarkable achievement, and UMT should be commended for its commitment to making higher education accessible to all.
As a society, we must demand similar efforts from other private institutions so that each youngster in Pakistan has access to quality higher education, irrespective of their financial means or ability to afford a degree. Only by investing in our youth at a mass scale will we be able to create a skilled human resource that can turn around the fortune of this country.
