Islamabad, August 17, 2023 (PPI-OT): I hope this email finds you well. I want to bring your attention to the USAID MNBSP Scholarship Program for Flood-Affected Students. The first deadline for application submission has already passed, and we have received 48 applications from Comsats University, with only 4 applications from female students. This number is below our expectations, and we need your help to reach out to students that are more eligible.

We kindly request your immediate support in spreading the word about this scholarship program. Please take the following actions to maximize outreach:

1. Campus Outreach: Share this information with the coordinator of each department and request them to spread awareness about the scholarship and encourage students to apply if they have been affected by floods.

2. Social Media: Utilize your social media platforms to raise awareness about the scholarship program. Share the official announcement or create your own posts highlighting the benefits and eligibility criteria. Kindly reshare the official posters on your social media accounts to increase visibility.

3. SMS Campaign: If possible, send out text messages to all students, informing them about the scholarship program and the extended deadline.

Students can apply online on the Portal at: https://usaidmnbsp-fas.hec.gov.pk/ until August 20, 2023.

Your active participation in this outreach campaign is crucial to reaching eligible students who may not be aware of this opportunity. Thank you for your cooperation and attention in this matter.
