In its true essence of strategic collaboration under the Ehsaas framework, the undergraduate scholarships project steering committee gathered for the third time to take stock of what has been achieved so far in implementing this project that was launched by the Prime Minister on Nov 4, 2019 and discuss ways forward together. The scholarships project is being overseen by the Ehsaas Scholarships Steering Committee, co-chaired by Special Assistant to the PM on Social Protection and Poverty Alleviation and Chairperson BISP, Dr. Sania Nishtar and Chairman HEC, Dr. Tariq Banuri.  Given that 132,192 undergraduate students (including 49,841 applications of girls) have applied for scholarships through online HEC portal which officially closed for applications on Dec 24, 2019 under the first phase of the project, it was deemed opportune to convene third meeting of the Steering Committee. The meeting specifically reviewed on-the- ground execution progress of the Ehsaas sub-project and discussed next actions to process the applications received from the deserving students.
