WAPDA reserves 10 seats at WCCT for Diamer students, pledges full sponsorship

(Web Desk): In a landmark initiative, Chairman WAPDA, Engr Lt Gen Sajjad Ghani (Retd), has opened the doors of WAPDA Cadet College Tarbela (WCCT) to the talented youth of Diamer, Gilgit-Baltistan.

He has not only approved the reservation of 10 seats annually for students from the region but has also pledged to fully sponsor their five-year education—an investment amounting to nearly Rs30 million.

Following a transparent selection process involving written tests and interviews, 10 bright young boys from Diamer have joined WCCT.

This life-changing opportunity includes free tuition, boarding, lodging, uniforms, academic kits, medical care, and a comprehensive academic and leadership development program. By removing financial barriers, the initiative ensures that merit and ambition are justly rewarded, paving the way for a brighter future.

More than just a scholarship, this initiative represents a bold step toward regional empowerment and inclusive national progress. By investing in education and nurturing talent from even the most remote areas of the country, WAPDA is playing a pivotal role in shaping the leaders of tomorrow. Set to be renewed annually, the program stands as a beacon of hope and opportunity for the families of Diamer, fostering a lasting spirit of development and inclusion.
