A number of scholarships have been announced by the British High Commission to mark Pakistan's 75-year relationship with the United Kingdom (UK).

During an event held in Lahore, the British High Commission announced 75 scholarships. There will be 75 scholarships offered, 63 under the Chevening Scholarship Program and 12 under the GREAT Scholarship Program.

As with all UK scholarships, the British High Commission ensures gender equality. The majority of these scholarships will be awarded to female students.
