A Milestone Partnership for Higher Education
Orange Tree Foundation (OTF) is proud to announce the signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SZABIST (Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology). This landmark partnership represents a significant step forward in our mission to make quality higher education accessible to deserving students across Pakistan.
Opening Doors to Excellence
The collaboration between OTF and SZABIST extends across all SZABIST campuses nationwide, creating unprecedented opportunities for talented students from financially challenged backgrounds to pursue their academic dreams at one of Pakistan’s most respected institutions.
Founded in 1995 under the vision of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, SZABIST has established itself as a premier educational institution with five campuses across Pakistan and one international campus in Dubai. The university offers over 40 degree programs spanning management sciences, computer sciences, media sciences, social sciences, life sciences, engineering, and more. This gives students diverse pathways to professional success and the chance to discover their true calling.
A Shared Commitment to Nation-Building
This partnership brings together two organizations united by a common purpose: empowering Pakistan’s youth through education. Orange Tree Foundation, since its establishment in 2011, has remained steadfast in its commitment to creating equal opportunities through quality education, healthcare, and comprehensive family support.
By partnering with SZABIST, we’re ensuring that financial constraints no longer stand between deserving students and world-class education. Students across all SZABIST campuses, from Karachi to Islamabad, Larkana to Hyderabad, and beyond, will now have access to scholarship opportunities that can transform their lives and futures.
Building Pakistan’s Future Leaders
Education is more than just acquiring degrees. It’s about developing the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to become changemakers. Through this partnership, scholarship recipients will benefit from SZABIST’s strong academic reputation, industry connections, and commitment to excellence. These advantages will position them to become the professionals, innovators, and leaders Pakistan needs.
Whether pursuing careers in technology, business, media, education, or engineering, these scholars will carry forward the values both organizations hold dear: excellence, integrity, and service to society.
A Network of Opportunity
What makes this partnership particularly impactful is its nationwide reach. With SZABIST’s multi-campus presence, students from different cities and regions will have access to quality education closer to home. This reduces barriers and enables more young people to pursue higher education without leaving their communities or the support systems they rely on.
Looking Forward
The signing of this MoU marks not an endpoint, but the beginning of a long-term relationship built on shared values and mutual commitment to educational empowerment. As we move forward together, Orange Tree Foundation and SZABIST will continue working to expand access, support deserving students, and contribute to building a more educated, empowered, and prosperous Pakistan.
We extend our gratitude to the leadership and team at SZABIST for their partnership and shared vision. Together, we’re not just changing individual lives. We’re investing in Pakistan’s collective future, one student at a time.
