Ehsaas Undergraduate Scholarship Program

One of the methods to get out of poverty is to get a higher education. Access to better education, on the other hand, is unevenly dispersed. Only 0.4 percent of children from the lowest poverty quintile (from the relevant age cohort) are admitted in institutions of higher learning, compared to a national average of 10%. Ehsaas scholarships are designed to eliminate this source of inequity.

Pakistan is one of the world's youngest countries, according to the National Human Development Report 2017. Recognizing its demographic reality, with a population of around 220 million people, more than half of whom are in the university age cohort, the government of Pakistan has made it a priority to work on programmes that encourage access to financially deserving people while also encouraging gender equity. The goal is to provide possibilities for a large number of young people to enter the higher education system.

Scholarships are available for the following:
