Indigenous Ph.D. Fellowship Program

The 5000 Indigenous Scholarship Scheme aims to establish a critical mass of highly trained human resources in all advanced disciplines of study offered in local institutions. Their presence will enhance the R&D potential of public and private institutions, as well as the local industrial sector.

The plan has helped build a research culture in public and private universities that meets international standards. This initiative is aimed at a wide range of disciplines including Science & Technology, Social Sciences, Humanities, and Life Sciences. The Higher Education Commission has helped numerous departments/universities create research laboratories. This has changed the research culture at Pakistani universities.

Due to the importance of local challenges, HEC has maintained a strong focus on indigenous scholarship programmes. Their study should directly impact Pakistan's growth and socio-economic development.

This initiative also helps universities upgrade their research facilities, notably small laboratory equipment, chemicals, and IT equipment, which not only helps HEC scholars but also helps departments construct modern research labs.
