From Gratitude to Giving Back: Alumnus Ali Farid Khwaja Supports Talented Students at LUMS
Education has the power to shape destinies, and when alumni give back, that impact is magnified. In a significant step toward expanding access to quality education, BSc 2003 alumnus Mr. Ali Farid Khwaja, Chairman of KTrade, has partnered with LUMS to strengthen financial support for talented students with financial constraints.
The collaboration was formalised on April 21, 2025, with the signing of an MoU between Mr. Khwaja and Dr. Ali Cheema, Vice Chancellor of LUMS.
Rooted in a shared belief that financial limitations should never hinder potential, this collaboration aims to unlock opportunities for deserving students and contribute to a more inclusive future for Pakistan.
Reflecting on his decision to give back, Mr. Khwaja shared, “This was long overdue. I feel deeply indebted to LUMS, its teachers, my friends, the scholarship support, and everyone who made it possible for me to study here.”
LUMS is grateful for his unwavering commitment to his alma mater and his dedication to meaningful change. As the University continues to remove barriers to education, such support is vital to advancing its mission.
