Sindh govt scholarships remain out of reach for many
Decision to expand programme yet to be approved by the provincial education minister
KARACHI:
A recent investigation conducted into the provision of higher education in the province has opened a new Pandora’s box, highlighting unfair distribution of annual scholarships worth billions, by the Sindh government.
Sindh Education Endowment Fund (SEEF) was launched in the year 2002 to facilitate students of Sindh unable to afford the cost of higher education, who secure merit-based admissions in public and private universities.
Despite the government’s good intentions, it seems that thousands of financially disadvantaged students from several universities, including Karachi University-the province’s largest public sector institution- have been unable to avail the scholarship for 19 consecutive years!
