UK partnership opens more opportunities for Pakistanis to study in Britain

The UK Government’s Chevening programme and Allied Bank Limited (ABL) have formed a new partnership to provide fully funded master’s degrees at leading UK universities for talented Pakistanis. This marks the first locally funded Chevening Scholarship partnership in Pakistan, bringing together the UK’s flagship international scholarship programme and Pakistan’s private sector to invest in the next generation of Pakistani leaders.

The two scholars supported each year will study subjects crucial to Pakistan’s future growth, including artificial intelligence, technology, cybersecurity, digital transformation, economics, and financial inclusion. The partnership also represents a significant milestone for Allied Bank President and CEO Aizid Gill, who studied MSc Business Economics at the University of Manchester as a Chevening Scholar in 2001.
