The journey of Akhtar Abbas is a testament to what is possible when preparation meets opportunity. Hailing from the rugged terrains of Skardu, Akhtar arrived at the BSW Foundation with a dream of higher education—a dream that seemed distant given the geographical and financial hurdles of his hometown.

“The hostel gave me the environment I needed to focus on my goals.” – Akhtar Abbas, Class of 2023.

A Stellar Academic Record

In 2023, Akhtar completed his FSc (Pre-Medical) with flying colors. His dedication didn’t just earn him a diploma; it earned him the 1st Position Award and, most significantly, a fully-funded scholarship to pursue his higher education at a prestigious university.

This achievement marks a milestone for the BSW Foundation, proving that our students can compete with the best in the country when given the right resources and mentorship.

Beyond Graduation: The Power of Giving Back

Today, Akhtar is excelling in his university studies, but he has never forgotten the halls of the BSW hostel. During his academic breaks, he returns to stay for months at a time, transforming from an alumnus into a mentor and teacher for current students.

“I urge all students to avail this great opportunity properly. The hostel gave me everything—accommodation, education, and guidance. Now it’s my turn to give back to the younger generation from Skardu.”
