NOP Outreach Drive – Abbottabad and Adjoining Cities

The National Outreach Programme (NOP) team visited five cities , Abbottabad, Mansehra, Haripur, Qalandarabad, and Havelian, engaging with over 1,000 students across 14 institutions. The outreach aimed to raise awareness about the LUMS National Outreach Programme (NOP), scholarship opportunities, and pathways to higher education through merit and need-based support.

The team conducted interactive information sessions at leading institutions including Abbottabad Public School, Peace College, Tameer-i-Wattan Schools and Colleges, GPGC Mansehra, and GPGC Haripur. The sessions highlighted LUMS’ academic excellence, inclusive community, and the transformative potential of a world-class education.

Students were introduced to life at LUMS’ residential campus, where learning extends beyond classrooms through eight distinct residential halls that foster belonging, collaboration, and personal growth. They were encouraged to see campus life as a “home away from home,” where diverse interactions and extracurricular engagement help shape future leaders.

The sessions also emphasized global opportunities and career pathways. Participants learned about LUMS’ extensive international partnerships with over 200 universities worldwide, enabling student exchanges and cross-cultural learning. Additionally, the Office of Career Services (OCS) was highlighted for connecting students with more than 400 national and multinational employers through internships and job placements, offering direct routes to impactful careers.

The visits strengthened ties with new and existing institutions, inspiring students to dream beyond geographical limits and aim for excellence through education. The NOP team’s engagement reaffirmed LUMS’ commitment to accessible, quality higher education for talented youth across Pakistan.
