GIK Institute, Squeaks Foundation sign MoU

SWABI: Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology and Squeaks Foundation on Thursday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to provide scholarship to the girl students from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The scholarship is for four years undergraduate programme. Only those students would be entitled who qualify the GIK Institute entry test but could not pay the fee to acquire higher education due to financial constraints.

The Squeaks Foundation is a United Kingdom-based Charity organization. It provides scholarships in medical and engineering fields to female students in KP, who do not have the financial resources to acquire higher education.

Ms Ana Castro, founder trustee of the Foundation, expressed confidence that the number of scholarships and interaction with GIK Institute would increase in future. Jehangir Bashar, Rector GIK Institute, lauded the Foundation’s noble initiative. He briefed the visiting team about various scholarships and loan schemes available for the students of the institute.
