Mission: NED Scholars was started as a dedicated organization for the betterment of STEM education in various parts of the world including USA. The scholarship was started by a small group of alumni of NED University of Engineering and Technology, Karachi, Pakistan, (NEDians) from the Mechanical Engineering Batch 80-81 in 2007 as an act of giving back to their alma mater. Under the program, scholarships are awarded on a “need-cum-merit” basis to deserving students of NED University. We also provide research grants to students and professors of NED University. Since 2014 we have gone Global and worked towards STEM education by providing scholarships and mentoring to needy students.
