| Despite induction
of students from most of the parts of the country,
there still remains a large majority of young
people from the underprivileged areas, who do
not apply to LUMS. The National Outreach Programme
(NOP) is designed to reach out to bright students
from underprivileged areas of Pakistan, who,
despite LUMS position as a national institution,
have not ventured to apply for admission so
far. Under this initiative, induction of selected
candidates into the various academic programs
will be facilitated by preparation for the University’s
rigorous admission criteria and then by provision
of full financial assistance to those who qualify.
The eventual objective of the NOP is that on
graduation these students will not only be ready
for a professional career, but also as responsible
members of society be in a position to help
upgrade their respective communities. |
