Earlier this year in March, the United States announced 500 new scholarships for university students from the flood-affected districts in Pakistan to assist them in completing their degrees.
Pakistan suffered from the historic monsoon rains and flooding last year that claimed over 1,700 lives, displaced over eight million people and dented the country's economy in 2022.
The scholarships were announced by US Ambassador to Pakistan Donald Blome at an event celebrating the achievements of female scholars in honour of International Women’s Day at the Higher Education Commission (HEC) in Islamabad.
