LAHORE, Sep 24 (APP):Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has approved a special relief package for students belonging to flood-affected regions of the province.
Under the package, semester fees of all students from the affected districts have been waived off, while first-year BS students will be exempted from admission fees. The initiative will benefit students from Muzaffargarh, Multan, Lodhran, Vehari, Sialkot, Narowal, Gujrat, Chiniot, and Kasur. All students from these districts will be granted a full fee waiver for their first academic year.
To further facilitate students, the registration deadline in universities located within the affected districts has been extended by 20 days, while the application deadline for the Honhaar scholarship has been extended by one month.
