The Balochistan government has invited applications for overseas scholarships for talented young students.
The initiative will provide opportunities to study and conduct research at leading international universities.
The PhD Scholarships will be offered through the Balochistan Education Endowment Fund. Under the programme, 10 students from Balochistan will receive scholarships each year.
The initiative aims to improve access to advanced education and international research opportunities.
Selected scholars will have opportunities at more than 100 leading universities worldwide.

The programme has already helped six students from Balochistan secure admission to prominent international universities.
These include the University of Leeds and the University of Copenhagen.
Students have also secured places at the University of Alberta and University of Queensland. Other institutions include the University of Bristol and Universiti Malaya.
The scholars are studying a wide range of academic subjects. These include molecular and cell biology, food safety, agriculture and structural engineering.
