TU-Pathao Annual Scholarship Scheme inked

Kathmandu, Oct. 13

Pathao Nepal, in partnership with Tribhuvan University, has introduced the 'TU-Pathao Annual Scholarship Scheme.'

An agreement was officially sealed on a Friday, with Suraksha Hamal, the Marketing Head of Pathao, and Prof. Pashupati Adhikari, the Director of the Directorate of Student Welfare and Sports at TU, signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the programme.

This initiative falls under Pathao's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), aiming to provide financial support to deserving students. The scholarship will benefit 100 students, each receiving Rs. 15,000 per year. To ensure a fair selection process, a 'Scholarship Committee' will be established, consisting of two members from Pathao and three from TU.

Information regarding the scholarship, along with application forms, will be available through the university's channels and will also be promoted on Pathao Nepal's website, social media platforms, as well as within TU-affiliated colleges.

Suraksha Hamal emphasised, "The scholarship committee will evaluate applicants based on the specified criteria." Successful candidates under this scheme will have the opportunity to pursue their studies with financial support at TU's main campus and its 62 affiliated campuses. The scholarship is intended for students in the faculties of sociology, management, and education.

During the MoU signing ceremony, key figures such as the Executive Director of Pathao Nepal, Asim Man Singh Basnyat, Executive Director of TU's Centre of International Relations, Binod Joshi, and Director of Planning Directorate, Prof. Dr. Dhrubra Kumar Gautam, were present, reaffirming their commitment to this scholarship programme.
