The application and assessment process for Akademos Scholarships 2023-2024 has now come to a close. We owe a debt of gratitude to our partners in Quetta – Mohammad Mehdi of Ummat and Masooma Kazimi of Champion Academy for their indispensable support throughout this process. We could not do our work without your help.
We received a total of 99 applications this year. A majority of the applicants were girls. The final scholars were selected through 30+ hours of rigorous interviews and assessment with due consideration given to both the academic record and compelling circumstances of the students. We acknowledge that a large number of the applicants face immense challenges in their studies, however, our limited budget and resources prevent us from awarding scholarships to more students.
We thank our supporters and donors for making these scholarships possible. All our projects are donor-funded and rely on generous donors like yourselves.
Among the selected scholars are aspiring engineers, doctors, and lawyers, all of whom hail from working class families in both Marriabad and Hazara Town, Quetta. We wish the scholars endurance, hard-work and a bright future ahead. The 2023-24 Akademos Scholarships have been awarded to the following applicants:

As a differently abled person, I have had to overcome many challenges in order to continue my schooling. Simple tasks such as commuting to school, crossing the street, and studying in a regular class have been challenging.

I am excited to use this scholarship to study Computer Science. With the aid of a computer, I can use my skills and abilities.
