🎓 LUMS National Outreach Programme (NOP) – Turning Dreams into Reality

Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world — and the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) is proving this through its National Outreach Programme (NOP).

Launched in 2001, the NOP aims to bring world-class education to brilliant students from underprivileged backgrounds across Pakistan. Over the years, it has helped thousands of talented individuals step into a brighter future.

🌟 What is the NOP?

The National Outreach Programme is a full scholarship initiative for undergraduate students who have exceptional academic records but lack the financial means to study at LUMS.

It is more than just financial aid — NOP provides mentorship, skill development, leadership training, and a supportive environment for students to excel.
