Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal (PBM) has agreed to provide scholarships to 50 deserving students at FATA University to help them meet educational expenses and continue their studies.
The decision was reached on October 22, 2026, during a meeting between PBM Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Director Dr. Lal Badshah and FATA University Vice Chancellor Professor Dr. Mohsin Nawaz, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP).
The two institutions also agreed to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to formalise their cooperation and establish a framework for the proposed scholarship programme.
The scholarship amount, eligibility criteria and application schedule have not yet been announced.
PBM Scholarship to Support 50 Students
The initiative aims to assist students experiencing financial difficulties while pursuing higher education.
During the meeting, officials discussed students’ financial needs and possible measures to improve access to educational opportunities.
The proposed scholarships are intended to help 50 deserving students manage their academic expenses and continue their studies.
Financial assistance can be particularly important for students whose families struggle to cover university-related costs.
However, the exact expenses covered under the FATA University programme will depend on the terms announced by the institutions.
PBM and FATA University to Sign MoU
Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal and FATA University have agreed to sign an MoU to formalise the proposed partnership.
The agreement is expected to establish the basis for cooperation between the two institutions in supporting financially disadvantaged students.
Officials have not announced a date for signing the MoU or provided a detailed implementation schedule.
Further information about the scholarship process is expected once the partnership arrangements are finalised.
Vice Chancellor Welcomes the Initiative
FATA University Vice Chancellor Professor Dr. Mohsin Nawaz welcomed PBM’s commitment to supporting deserving students.
He said financial difficulties should not prevent students from continuing their education.
The vice chancellor also highlighted the university administration’s efforts to improve educational facilities and address students’ academic concerns.
PBM Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Director Dr. Lal Badshah participated in discussions about student support and financial assistance during his visit to the university.
