Active
Description
This portal, managed by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan, offers various foreign-funded scholarship opportunities to eligible Pakistani and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) citizens. It serves as a gateway to international study programs sponsored by different countries, often facilitated through diplomatic channels.
Eligibility & Requirements
Prospective applicants, who must be Pakistani or AJK nationals, are required to secure valid scores on specific HEC aptitude tests. For Master's and PhD programs, the HEC Aptitude Test (HAT) is necessary, while Bachelor's programs require the Undergraduate Studies Admission Test (USAT). These test scores are fundamental for consideration for foreign-funded scholarships like the Stipendium Hungaricum, Commonwealth, and Chinese Government programs. Candidates are strongly advised to apply promptly to avoid technical issues. A medical fitness certificate may also be mandatory.
