The Higher Education Commission (HEC) in Islamabad announced HEC need-based Scholarships to undergraduate students enrolled in the country’s 98 universities. HEC need-based scholarships are available to students enrolled in undergraduate programs at public sector institutions and their sub-campuses. Only students who have been admitted on the basis of open merit are eligible to apply. Self-finance students are not eligible to qualify for a HEC need-based scholarship.
There is no shortage of smart young people in Pakistan, but a lack of resources stops them from fulfilling their full potential in many cases. When it comes to higher education, this is especially troublesome. The Pakistani government recognizes these limitations and has entrusted the Higher Education Commission with assisting needy and qualified students with need-based scholarships.
The universities announce HEC need-based scholarships. Students must complete the application form found on the HEC website and submit it to their particular university’s financial aid office. Students cannot apply to the HEC directly. Universities choose candidates and submit their application forms to HEC. For further scholarships please visit.

The Needs-Based Scholarship program covers funds for the following expenses:
- Tuition Fee

Subject:
I need a scholarship from HEC in order to complete my education.
Financial issues I can’t afford higher studies
How did I fill my application form and send it to website ?
I am in Fsc right now could i choose university of my own choice ?
Keep updating about scholarship and opportunities.
Why are there no government scholarships for self finance students ?
They also face many financial issues just like the other students, they do secure a seat in government university on basis of merit , and then pay a huge fee for the degree, but a lack of resources stops them from completing their degree and so causes many other problems. Non-self finance students already have a little fee in comparison with the self finance students, and still they are offered need based scholarships, neglecting many other needy self finance students. It a humble request to please provide need based scholarships to all students irrespective of this thing that whether a student is in morning batch or a self finance student as both get admitted on basis of pure merit.
