Applicants must demonstrate financial need and provide the relevant information and documents required by the university.
According to the HEC Need-Based Scholarship criteria provided in the university announcement, students admitted on a self-finance basis are not eligible for the programme.
Financial need is assessed through the university’s Institutional Scholarship Award Committee, which reviews the information submitted by applicants.
The number of scholarships available can also depend on the funding allocated to the participating university.
Students should therefore ensure that their applications accurately reflect their family’s financial circumstances.

The HEC Need-Based Scholarship provides financial assistance toward university fees for selected undergraduate students.
In addition to tuition-related support, HEC provides selected scholarship recipients with a Rs. 6,000 monthly stipend for the duration of their eligible degree programme.
The scholarship can continue for the normal duration of the degree, subject to the student maintaining eligibility and complying with the applicable university and HEC rules.
The financial assistance is intended to help deserving students continue their studies despite financial difficulties.
Scholarship funds are not directly paid to applicants by HEC. Instead, the funds are disbursed through the participating university.

Important Deadline for Students
