Millions of Pakistanis suffered catastrophic damages to their infrastructure and way of life as a result of last year’s tremendous floods. As a result of a lack of funding, students at institutions in flood-affected areas are on the verge of leaving their studies.
As a response, USAID launched a scholarship program in 2004 that provides financial help to students from low-income households and is based on both talent and need. The initiative will provide financial aid for two semesters to flood-affected students at thirty partner universities who are having financial difficulties.
Here is a detailed explanation of the Undergraduate Scholarships for Flood Affected Students.
Eligibility
- In Fall 2023, the student must be enrolled in a four- or five-year undergraduate degree program for the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh semester.
- There are no closed disciplines or topics.
- The Pakistani government, the PDMA, or the district administration will decide which districts, sub-districts, or UC Tehsils are impacted.
- Give details of any flood damage proof, such as a damaged property or lost revenue. Fake photos downloaded from the internet will be rejected.
- The University’s Institutional Scholarship Award Committee will interview the selected candidates to decide whether to provide them with financial help.
