ISLAMABAD – The Chinese government has awarded 140 scholarships to Pakistani students providing them with an opportunity to obtain higher education, from undergraduate to postgraduate studies, from top Chinese universities.
In a ceremony held in Islamabad at the Chinese Embassy, the admission letters for availing the scholarships were handed over to the students.
The students were given scholarships on the recommendations of the Ministry of Inter-provincial Coordination (IPC) and Higher Education Commission (HEC).

The students will get an education at various Chinese universities in different fields including computer science and technology, business administration, finance, physical chemistry, architecture, civil engineering, broadcasting communication, international law, journalism and others, covering bachelor and masters programmes, PhD and advanced training programmes.
The ambassador, while congratulating the winners for the scholarships for 2018/2019 academic year, hoped that they would act as goodwill ambassadors of their country while studying in China . They should serve as a bridge to further strengthen the brotherly relationship, he said.
