OGDCL Need Based Scholarships Program through HEC

The Higher Education Commission, in collaboration with the Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL), provides scholarships for deserving students to pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees in engineering, business administration, law, archaeology, defense and strategic studies, gender studies, history, sociology, animal sciences, biochemistry, microbiology, electronics, physics, mathematics, information technology, and Pakistan studies at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in these fields. The initiative is aligned with the Higher Education Commission's aims of providing financial assistance to deserving students, increasing access to high-quality education, and encouraging academic interest in disciplines that are critical to Pakistan's economic development. A particular component of the curriculum has been created to help students who come from the OGDCL's operational/concessional district locations.
In order to provide opportunities for access to higher education, the OGDCL-HEC Need-Based Scholarship Program is focused on providing opportunities for access to higher education, particularly to destitute candidates from underprivileged backgrounds who come from operational and concessional areas of OGDCL and who, despite having academic merit, are unable to finance their education. The scholarship covers the cost of tuition, room & board, and books.
