GCU Endowment Fund raises Rs 7m this year
LAHORE: The Government College University (GCU) Endowment Fund has
raised Rs 7 million this year, GCU-EF executive secretary Khalid Manzoor Butt
said on Sunday.
Butt said the Higher Education Commission
(HEC) had asked all public universities last year to establish endowment funds
to finance their development projects and meet other needs. He said the money
would be spent to upgrade the school and to meet the needs of deserving
students. He said that about 6,000 students were enrolled at the university. He
said that only deserving students were being given scholarships, which was about
20 percent of the fee. "Because most students are from the lower stratum of
society, providing them scholarships is essentially important," he
added.
GCU Endowment Fund president and Highnoon Laboratories chairman
Jawaid Tariq Khan said that the primary objective of the fund was to
make GCU financially independent. He said foreign universities had
well-established endowment funds to meet the needs of deserving students.
"Schools like Cambridge, Harvard and Oxford receive million of dollars annually
through their endowment funds," he said. "Financial independence is playing an
important role in the performance of these schools," he added. Daily Times
