Quaid-e-Azam University Alumni Association Pakistan has decided to extend every possible help to the students belonging to the flood affected areas. This assistance would be provided to the enrolled flood affected students at QAU which would include financial assistance for meeting the expenses incurred on academic fee, hostel dues and mess charges.
Talking to APP, Secretary General QAU Alumni Association Murtaza Noor has informed that the members of the Alumni Association would repeat the same spirit which has been shown during earthquake 2005 and would not leave flood affected families in the lurch.
He further said that for making the process transparent and providing the assistance to the deserving students only, all the possible measures would be taken including sorting help of administration/ departmental heads of QAU and NADRA.
This assistance would be additional to already announced fifteen need based scholarships for the students belonging to flood affected areas. These scholarships would be awarded on annual basis to the students who would be enrolled at Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad.
The scholarships would be offered in the disciplines of business education, international relations and economics. These scholarships have been donated by, one of the active alumni, Dr Abdul Basit, Chancellor Preston University Pakistan.
The scholarships would bear the total academic and hostel fee. Quaid-e-Azam University and QAU Alumni Association have already signed MoU to extend co-operation for the benefit of the present and old students of QAU. QAU would establish a separate head for these offered scholarships as on the pattern on Dr Raziuddin Siddiqui scholarship programme.
Any student who gets education at QAU from remote/hard areas of Pakistan would be financially supported by QAU Alumni Association. QAU Alumni Association would also assist the students in career counselling and job placement. Both the organisations would stay in touch with another to undertake different welfare programme for the benefit of present and former students of the university.
