HEC invites applications for PhD scholarships

Applications have been invited from outstanding Pakistani nationals for the award of PhD scholarships jointly funded by Higher Education Commission (HEC) and Cambridge Commonwealth Trust (CCT) for the University of Cambridge, UK.
The scholarships will be awarded for academic session 2012, said an HEC official. He said application forms, complete in all respects, should reach the HEC by Friday March 30, 2012, through registered mail or courier service. Maximum 40 years age is for full-time regular faculty members of public-sector universities and colleges and employees of the public sector R and D organisations, and 35 years for others. “Applicants need to have minimum cumulative 50% academic marks as per HEC Academic Evaluation Formula (HEC-AEF). The HEC-AEF is available at HEC website,” he said and added the candidates who were already availing any other scholarship were not eligible to apply.
