Liaquat Ali Khan Studentships

The Liaquat Ali Khan Studentship has been established with the generous support of the High Commission for Pakistan in London. The Liaquat Ali Khan Studentship provides funding to existing Pakistani graduate students who are ordinarily resident in Pakistan and British Pakistani graduate students at the University of Oxford, who require supplementary financial support during their studies. This will allow such students to focus on their study at Oxford without academic constraint, and take full advantage of the plethora of academic opportunities on offer at Oxford. The Liaquat Ali Khan Studentship is open to graduate students throughout the year and will be awarded according to specific need, with a minimum grant of £1,000.
