These scholarships were beneficial for our students in the short run and for the region of NWFP in the long run, he said. Further, he added that IMSciences had allocated funds for scholarships from its own resources and total 231 scholarships were distributed under US Need Based Merit Scholarship Programme, Khushhali Bank Scholarship Programme for FATA Students, Frontier Education Foundation Scholarship Programme and IMSciences funded different merit and need based programmes in 2006-7.
He thanked Seiji Kojima for his personal visit and his keen interest in awards distribution ceremony. Kojima congratulated the 31 selected students and the Institute for being one of the first ever selected institutes for the said scholarship programme.
He explained that in the last five years it was the only scholarship programme administered by the government of Japan, which was purely need-based and specifically for those students, who deserved the best education but confronted with financial constraints.
