Scholarship Committee Report
By Dr. M. Masood Akbar
We are in the 8th year of the KEMCAANA Scholarship
Program. This year we will be giving 32 scholarships in the amount
of 1500 Rs. per month. The contributions are invested with Smith
Barney and the scholarship is being paid from the income and
appreciation. The investment committee of KEMCAANA Executive counsel
oversees the investments. Our present goal is to increase the number
of scholarships to 50 per year and increase the monthly amount to
3000 Rs. per month to help the students cope with increased expenses
due to inflation.
The scholarships are awarded by a selection committee consisting
of professors at KEMU and are based on the student’s academic
achievement and financial needs. I have interviewed many of the
scholarship recipients over the past 6 years and have come across
several heartfelt stories. One of the students recently told me that
his sister had scored very high marks in the intermediate board exam
but that the family finances were already stretched to the limit to
put him through KEMU. So the family had decided to hold the sister
back from joining medical school. KEMCAANA Scholarship came in handy
and enabled the family to have his sister pursue her goals for
higher education. There are many similar situations that still exist
in Pakistan.
