Cut in HEC funds affecting students
Drastic reduction in HEC funds affecting students
Islamabad, Nov 18: A drastic reduction in allocations for the Higher
Education Commission (HEC) has started affecting Pakistanis studying in
universities abroad on HEC scholarship.
It was learnt that some
students in Italy are yet to receive their stipend which should have been
transferred to their accounts in the beginning of November. |

Twenty-five
students went to the Politechnico de Turino University of Italy for Masters of
Science (MS) studies in the September session with a two-month
(September-October) stipend paid to them in advance.
"We have consumed
the money given to us by the HEC and now we are unable to meet our expenses,"
Saeed-ur-Reham said on phone from the university.
He said the
students had been forced to seek money from their families in
Pakistan.
"When we contacted HEC officials they said the scholarship was
in the process of transfer and will reach by mid-December," he said. Dawn
