Introduction of Financial Aid Office
Since NTU’s inception, it has produced many talented students who are currently serving in Textile and other renowned industries within and outside Pakistan. As a part of alumni they felt their responsibility towards the NTU and have provided adequate funding in past. NTU itself has disbursed approx. Rs. 103 million in terms of scholarship / financial assistance to students since 2003. With the passage of time the funding from donor agencies got increased and made the management of these funds grim due to non-availability of proper Financial Aid Office. Meanwhile HEC was also focused on establishing of such offices in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) for management of scholarship / financial assistance matter. In pursuance of HEC’s instruction, NTU decided to establish a dedicated office for the purpose of managing the scholarship and matters related to financial assistance to students.
Financial Aid Office has been established to facilitate those bright and deserving students who face hardship to pursue their higher studies due to financial constraint. The idea of establishing financial aid office is to provide maximum financial assistance / support (based on availability of resources) to bright and deserving students without compromising quality of education.
