February 25, 2020: The Impact Female Scholarship Programme certificate distribution ceremony by ICI Pakistan Ltd. was held at the IBA Karachi, Main Campus. The organization extended its support through a scholarship grant for one female undergraduate student at the Institute. The IBA was represented by Director, Alumni Corporate Relations and Communications Department (ACRC) Malahat Awan, Senior Manager, Corporate Relations & Communications (CRC) Haris Tohid Siddiqui, Manager, Career Development Center (CDC) Danish Imtiaz and Assistant Manager, Financial Aid Tanveer Ahmed. ICI Pakistan Ltd. was represented by Manager, Talent Acquisition and Culture Hira Mullick, Assistant Manager, Talent Acquisition Fizzah Khan and Graduate Recruit and an IBA alumna, Ayesha Arshad.

The recipient of the scholarship Misbah Raja, is a freshman student from the BS Economics and Mathematics program. All the candidates were assessed through a video based assessment and interview rounds. She was selected from a pool of candidates on the basis of her extra ordinary performance during the selection process. She highlighted the importance of women empowerment and furthering the cause of education, which are the two values which ICI Pakistan also believes in strongly.

ICI Pakistan launched the Impact Female Scholarship Programme in 2016 for the sole purpose of women empowerment and facilitating higher education. ICI Pakistan is currently sponsoring four students under this initiative with plans to launch similar programs in the upcoming year.

Further avenues of collaboration between the IBA and ICI were also discussed, including corporate internships, career counselling and work experience opportunities for the IBA students.

The ceremony concluded with the ICI representatives presenting a certificate to Misbah and expressing their enthusiasm for further collaborations with the IBA.
