Palestinian students to avail COMSTECH-funded 500 scholarships in Pakistani varsities
As many 500 fully-funded scholarships will provide an opportunity to Palestinian students to study in Pakistani universities.

The Pakistani chapter of COMSTECH, an institute established by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), will provide scholarships to Palestinian students over the next two years.
Launched by 57 OIC member states at the platform’s Islamic Summit in Makkah in 1981, COMSTECH is the OIC’s Ministerial Standing Committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation.
One of its main goals is to enhance member states’ capabilities in science and technology. The scholarships were first announced by Dr Muhammad Iqbal Choudhary, the COMSTECH coordinator general in Islamabad.
The new scholarships are separate from the Pakistani government’s annual provision of 100 scholarships. COMSTECH has launched this new program to cover research fellowships, technician training and workshop grants for all disciplines.
Each scholarship will cost around Rs1,000,000 ($13,600) on average,” Murtaza Noor explained, adding that the amount “could go up depending on the discipline and whether the student planned to attend a private or a public university.” the committee’s media advisor, Murtaza Noor said.
