Job Description

INTRODUCTION

Pakistan has no shortage of talented youth, but in several instances, lack of resources prevents them from realizing their potentials. This becomes more problematic when it comes to accessing higher education. The Government of Pakistan acknowledges these constraints and has tasked Higher Education Commission to facilitate the needy and deserving students through Need Based Scholarships. Scholarships have been announced for financially disadvantaged　students of as many as 98 public sector universities and their campuses.

The scholarships aim to elevate the socio-economic status of the students by enabling their chances to get the modern education and career opportunities for their brighter future.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

Financial assistance & scholarships are available for study at 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 admission policy of the institution and be enrolled in Undergraduate (4 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.
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.
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 tuition fees.
In addition to the tuition fee, every grantee will be paid Rs.6000/- stipend per month for the complete program.
