HEC Need Base Scholarship

Eligibility criteria

​Financial assistance & scholarships are available for study at the Undergraduate level in all disciplines at HEC-selected public sector Pakistani universities and degree-awarding institutions. Students need to compete for securing admission at the participating institution as per the admission policy of the institution and be enrolled in Undergraduate (4-5 years) programs. Students in financial need who are already enrolled in participating institutions are also eligible to apply. The eligibility of a candidate is linked to his/her financial needs as assessed by the Institutional Scholarship Award Committee. The financial background of the family of the applicant will be kept in view in this regard. The number of slots will be decided by the universities keeping in view the budget of the current year. Funding for slots will continue for the complete duration of the program. In case any students drop out, they will be replaced by other candidates on the waiting list of the current year. All disciplines will be kept open. The selected university will decide whether to include or exclude any discipline keeping in view its grant, program cost, and number of allocated slots, etc. In the case of Medicine, Pharm-D and other five-year programs, funding will be made available for the complete program. Considering the allocated grant, the university may adjust the total number of scholarships to an extent in order to cover the university fee. In addition to the university fee, every grantee will be paid Rs.6000/- stipend per month for the complete program. Those students who secure admission on self-finance are not eligible for HEC Need-Based Scholarship Program. Note: The complete application should be sent to relevant Financial Aid Offices where the applicant intends to secure admission.
