4 Fully Funded Scholarships for Pakistani Students

This post exclusively talks about fully funded scholarships for Pakistani students, so if you are a Pakistani student looking for an undergraduate scholarship, scholarships in the UK, or other international countries, then you should read through to the end.

Scholarships are mainly provided to financially support students who cannot afford to pay tuition fees for one reason or another. Although most times, it goes beyond financial support to providing students with seminars and internships, and other important activities.

It also comes in rewards, like awarding scholarships to students who have the highest GPA, or those who came out best in some school athlete or academic activities (merit-based  scholarships)

Other types of scholarships awarded to Pakistani students include need-based, identity-based, or Government Scholarships. These scholarships could either be fully funded or partly funded.

Just like Fully funded Canadian government scholarships, every other scholarship that is fully funded covers students’ tuition costs as well as living expenses but is always hard to get. Partly funded scholarships cover only some parts of the student’s educational expenses.

Before students can apply for a scholarship at any college, they must first secure admission into the institution. Now they are eligible and can go further to indicate that they need financial aid.  Students who are applying for a Bachelor’s program must have completed 12 years of formal education, and those for Masters’s program must have completed 16 years of formal education.

You should bear in mind that students who enrol in part-time programs are not always eligible for scholarships, but they could be considered for some sort of financial aid by their institution.

The basic documents you will be required to provide for an international scholarship award include academic certificates, reference letters, and university offer letters. Before you plan to study abroad, you should bear in mind that there are lots of important things you need to know.

Let’s now take a look at some undergraduate scholarships for Pakistani students.
