LAHORE: (Web Desk)<\/strong> The US Agency for International Development (USAID) has announced hundreds of additional graduate-level scholarships to Pakistani women under its Merit and Need-Based Scholarship Program (MNBSP) in collaboration with the Higher Education Commission (HEC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the two-year scholarships that will begin this year and last until 2023, 700 talented Pakistan women from all over the country would be able to pursue higher education in the disciplines of agriculture, business, engineering, health sciences, and social sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
