How Much Financial Assistance Will Students Receive?
The Al-Khidmat Academic Scholarship Program provides financial support intended to help students manage educational expenses while pursuing their undergraduate degrees.
Under the third phase of the 2026 programme, selected students will receive the following benefits:
- Monthly stipend: Rs6,500
- Annual financial assistance: Rs78,000
- Tuition fee support: Partial assistance for the duration of the undergraduate degree, subject to scholarship conditions.
The monthly stipend can help students manage routine education-related expenses, including transport, study materials and other essential costs associated with university life.
The partial tuition fee assistance can further reduce the financial pressure on students and their families. However, the programme does not guarantee complete coverage of all tuition fees or other university expenses.
Continued financial support is subject to the scholarship’s conditions, including satisfactory academic performance. Students should review the official requirements to understand how eligibility will be maintained throughout their degree programmes.

According to COMSATS Lahore’s official announcement, the following criteria apply:
1. Eligible undergraduate batches

How Will Students Be Selected?
COMSATS University Lahore and Al-Khidmat Foundation Pakistan will assess applications through a verification process designed to confirm applicants’ financial circumstances and eligibility.
The process includes district-level verification and a financial assessment. Applicants who progress to the next stage will be interviewed jointly by representatives of Al-Khidmat Foundation Pakistan and COMSATS University Islamabad.
This means students will not be selected merely by submitting an online application. They must meet the eligibility conditions and successfully complete the required assessment.
Applicants should ensure that all information submitted in their forms is accurate and that any requested supporting documentation is available for verification.
The joint assessment is intended to help the programme identify students who meet its academic requirements and genuinely need financial assistance to continue their education.

How the Scholarship Can Help Students
Financial challenges can make it difficult for university students to manage tuition fees and everyday educational expenses. Support through scholarships can reduce this pressure and help deserving students remain focused on completing their degrees.
The Al-Khidmat Academic Scholarship combines a monthly stipend with partial tuition fee assistance, potentially offering meaningful support to eligible students throughout their undergraduate studies.
However, the number of awards available and the final selection outcomes were not specified in the university’s announcement. Applicants should therefore understand that submitting an application does not guarantee that a scholarship will be awarded.
The programme’s financial assessment and interview stages will help determine which applicants qualify for assistance.
For students enrolled in eligible STEM programmes at COMSATS Lahore, the scholarship offers an opportunity to seek financial support for their education.
Interested applicants should review the official requirements and submit their forms through the designated portal before October 31, 2026.
