Namal Education Foundation has launched its "Scholarship Fund" to provide scholarships to needy students admitted for the incoming batch of 2020. A Zakat dinner was recently held in Lahore to commemorate the launch of the Scholarship Fund.
60 percent of the target was achieved at the event through Zakat. More than Rs 261 million have been spent on scholarships since 2008 and currently 90 percent of the student population at Namal is on scholarship. Zakat dinner was held to ensure that greater number of students in the upcoming batch benefit from the merit based scholarships.
Imran Khan, Chairman of the Board, Members of the Board of Governors of Namal College, TV and film actor Hamza Ali Abbasi, Mountaineer sister and brother duo Samina Baig and Mirza Ali Baig, designer Muneeb Nawaz, model and actress Rabia Butt, major donors of Namal and people from all walks of life attended the dinner and showed their support for the fund raising campaign.
Speaking on the occasion, Imran Khan said, "Namal College was created for the sole purpose of giving underprivileged talent from across Pakistan, the chance to rise up with cutting edge higher education. Higher education transforms not one but many lives and no power on earth can destroy a country that spends resources on its citizens' education. My mission will not be complete until higher education is made available and affordable to the talented youth in Pakistan. This is a huge challenge and the success of this college is dependent on your generous support."
The Zakat for Scholarship Fund calls for donors to fully sponsor a student or number of students from the incoming batch of 2020. The cost of educating one student for four years is Rs 1.2 million whereas the same degree would cost them more than Rs 10 million in the UK. People from all over the world can send their donations and contribute to the scholarship fund by visiting the online link: www.namal.edu.pk/donate-online.-PR
