In a major boost for higher education in Pakistan, Ali Tareen has announced a paid scholarship for Pakistani students to study at Oxford University, which is famous as Tareen Oxford scholarship. It is focusing on students from South Punjab. The initiative, called the Tareen Oxford Scholarship, aims to remove financial barriers that prevent talented students from accessing world-class education.

Sharing his personal journey, Ali Tareen explained that Oxford transformed his life. Now, he wants to offer the same opportunity to others who deserve it but lack resources. As a result, the scholarship will cover full tuition fees for selected Master’s students.

What Is the Tareen Oxford Scholarship?
