OPP Scholars 2022-23
Five inaugural OPP Scholars — representing a diverse breadth of disciplines, backgrounds and talents, united by a commitment to Pakistan's future.
Pakistan's First OPP Cohort
The Oxford Pakistan Programme is pleased to announce its five inaugural OPP Scholars for 2022–23. The scholars represent a diverse breadth of disciplines, backgrounds and talents, with subjects ranging from Mathematics, Education, Development Studies, Climate Change, Music and Refugee Studies.
Two of the OPP Scholars are overseas Pakistanis, two are women and one is an academic from a Pakistani public sector university. It is our hope that these scholars go on to become leaders in their diverse fields, uplifting their communities, and Pakistan, through academic excellence and the spirit of public service.
"The OPP Scholars represent the beginning of something historic — a commitment to ensure that financial barriers never prevent Pakistan's brightest from reaching the world's best."
