Ehsaas Scholarship Program | Online Application Guide & Form

Ehsaas undergraduate scholarship program is specifically designed to provide financial assistance to underprivileged students.

It was first announced by Imran Khan (under the Ehsaas Program) who is also the chairman of one of the biggest political parties in South Asia namely, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.

He had a view to educate the masses of Pakistan. It is a widespread fact that education is the key to uplifting entire nations and plays a foundation step for every developing country.

Since Pakistan is a poor country buried under huge foreign debts and the curse of inflation increasing day by day, not every family can afford to send their children to schools and pay their tuition fees. This is specifically for those families who would rather send their kids to work than school since they could always use another set of bread-earning hands.

Ehsaas scholarship program has helped mitigate this kind of mentality to a great extent. It not only provides financial assistance to students by paying their tuition fees and hostel expenses but also educates the masses about the benefits of studying and its role in uplifting countries and their economies.

Objective of The Ehsaas Scholarship Program

Pakistan has a population of more than 220 million people and education is not the facility accessible to all. Being a developing country it is imperative that the people of Pakistan educate themselves because that is the only way to uplift a country. The main objective of this Ehsaas program is to make that possible.

The best part about all this is that the Ehsaas program strives to educate women of all. Almost half the scholarships are reserved for deserving female candidates. It is because an educated woman educates the whole family.

Up until now, this program has helped millions of underprivileged students achieve their goals and dreams and get better employment opportunities based on their educational background.

What does Ehsaas Scholarship Cover?

Speaking about the financial support that you will receive from this fund, you will receive a full tuition fee.

1. It means that you won’t have to pay anything out of your pocket in terms of tuition fees. However, you must keep in mind that the tuition fee will not come into your hands directly, in fact, the fund providers will themselves pay your dues on time. You will just have to go there to study and that’s it!
2. Apart from the tuition fee, you will also receive a monthly stipend of PKR 4000 per month. In addition to that, they will also pay for your hostel dues in case you live in a hostel. However, if you live in your own home they will not cover your accommodation expenses.

Looking at The Figures

Every year, about fifty thousand students receive funds from the Ehsaas program. Their aim is to increase this number to two lakh per year but it is still a work in progress.

On average about 0.4% of the total population of families living in Pakistan can afford to provide their children with higher education.

This figure is so low that it does not even cover 10% of the quota set by the Ehsaas Scholarship Program.

If you are thinking about applying for the Ehsaas education scholarship, you must meet certain criteria. This criterion is set to ensure that only the most deserving students get access to the funds. Any other person who can afford college and accommodation expenses on his own should not expect any kind of financial aid from the Ehsaas program.

Let’s move to the criteria that you must meet in order to be deemed eligible for this scholarship.

Requirements to Recieve Funds

• Your total household income should not exceed PKR 45,000 per month. It means that if your household income exceeds this threshold, you will be deemed ineligible for this scholarship.

Requirements to Signup on their Portal

• If your age is 18 years, create an Ehsaas Scholarship account with your own CNIC otherwise, your application will not be entertained.
• In case you are 18 years old and still don’t have CNIC, please immediately apply for NADRA CNIC  and then apply for the Ehsaas Scholarship.
