Fueling Dreams Through the Parwaz Foundation Initiative
In a significant move toward empowering the youth of the region through higher education, Inspector General Frontier Corps (IGFC) Balochistan (South), Major General Bilal Sarfraz, presented scholarship cheques worth Rs 0.85 million to deserving female students under the auspices of the Parwaz Foundation.
The financial assistance program aims to ensure continuity of higher education for talented youth facing financial constraints.
From Request to Reality: The Journey of NWB Alumni
The initiative trace back to January 24, 2026, during a brunch arranged for the alumni of the National Workshop Balochistan (NWB-18) Youth cohort. During the interaction, five female students formally requested financial assistance from the IGFC Scholarship Fund to pursue their university degrees.
Taking prompt action on the requests, Headquarter Frontier Corps Balochistan (South) invited the students to a formal interaction on June 2, 2026, where the educational grants were officially handed over.
Beneficiaries of the Higher Education Grants
Four out of the five selected students attended the ceremony at HQFC Balochistan (South) and received their academic funding:
Attiya – University of Turbat (Biotechnology)
Gulnaz– University of Turbat (English Literature)
Zamur – University of Turbat (English Literature)
Sazain – Alhamd Islamic University, Quetta (Physiotherapy)
The fifth beneficiary, Fatima (an MBBS student at the Quetta Institute of Medical Sciences), could not attend the ceremony due to her ongoing professional examinations. The Frontier Corps administration confirmed that her scholarship cheque will be presented to her at a later date.
A Vision for Regional Development
The initiative has drawn widespread appreciation from civil society and academic circles. By actively funding specialized degrees in fields like Biotechnology, Physiotherapy, and Literature, IGFC Balochistan (South) and the Parwaz Foundation are laying a strong foundation for sustainable regional development led by educated, empowered young women.
