According to the provincial minority affairs department, eligible students must have passed their exams in the previous year with at least 50% marks.
Applicants must also belong to minority communities and be permanent residents of Sindh.
The scholarships are reserved for students whose parents have a monthly income of Rs35,000 or less. Each successful applicant will receive a grant of Rs25,000.
The initiative is part of the provincial government’s efforts to support low-income students and promote inclusive education in the region.
Morever, the Sindh government launched a job portal aimed at providing employment opportunities to citizens last week. The portal will feature job listings from both government and private sector organisations.
The launch ceremony was attended by Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Senior Provincial Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon, business community leaders, and a large number of key figures, Express News reported.
Speaking at the event, Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon emphasised that 65% of Pakistan’s population is youth, and the portal has been created to cater to their employment needs.
He noted that the portal allows both educated individuals and skilled workers to upload their CVs.
Memon added that the portal would not only offer government job opportunities but also connect job seekers with private sector employers.
