APPNA Scholarship Endowment Program
APPNA Alumni Scholarship Project was started in 2013 with a pledge of generous donation by an alumni member in the amount of ONE MILLION DOLLARS. The Scholarship Program is intended to help deserving students enrolled at respective medical colleges in Pakistan to defray some of their educational expenses. This is a way for us to Thank God Almighty for all the blessings we have had and help future students with their studies. The money is distributed from the appreciation and income of invested funds and we are hoping that this program will be continued for years to come. The Scholarship Committee Members, in collaboration with the respective Alumni, have worked very hard to raise funds for this noble cause and have been able to raise over 1.5 million dollars.
The GOAL of the program is to help the extremely bright deserving students at various medical colleges to ease the financial burden during their studies. Most of these students belong to under privileged families and many of them have other siblings studying at other institutions concurrently making it hard for their parents to pay for their education.
These funds are being invested in the dedicated APPNA Scholarship Endowment Account with sub-accounts for each alumni, according to the APPNA Finance Committee Guidelines. These funds are RESTRICTED exclusively for undergraduate scholarship recipients of PARTICIPATING Alumni colleges.
Since its inception the program has made tremendous progress. We have been able to disburse over $360,000.00 over this period of time and helped hundreds of undergraduate students at various medical schools in Pakistan with their educational expenses.
