Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai has announced a new scholarship programme for Pakistani female students. The initiative offers fully funded Oxford scholarships for those seeking a master’s degree at Oxford University.
In a video message shared on social media, Malala invited eligible Pakistani women to apply. She explained that the Oxford scholarships aim to support talented students committed to education and positive change.
Malala said that after completing her own studies at Oxford, she felt it was important to give back. She wants to create opportunities for girls who continue to fight for their right to education.
The scholarship programme will cover full expenses for selected students. These Oxford scholarships are designed for women who want to pursue higher education and contribute to Pakistan’s development.
Malala expressed excitement about welcoming new Pakistani students to Oxford University. She believes education remains a powerful tool for social progress and empowerment.
A photograph of Malala is displayed at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, highlighting her connection to the university. Her academic journey continues to inspire young women across Pakistan.
Born on July 12, 1997, Malala Yousafzai is a global advocate for girls’ education. She became the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2014 at age 17. She is also the second Pakistani and the only Pashtun to receive the Nobel Prize.
Malala began her activism in Swat, where the Taliban once banned girls from attending school. Her campaign for education grew into an international movement. Former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has described her as Pakistan’s “most prominent citizen.”
Through these new Oxford scholarships, Malala hopes to open doors for deserving Pakistani women. She said education can transform lives and strengthen communities.
The programme marks another step in her long-standing mission to ensure equal access to quality education. Applications are expected to attract strong interest from aspiring scholars across the country.
