COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, has announced the opening of applications for the Higher Education Commission (HEC) Need-Based Scholarship Program for the Fall 2026 semester. This financial assistance initiative is aimed at helping deserving undergraduate students who face financial difficulties continue their education.
Scholarship Overview
The program offers financial assistance for undergraduate studies at COMSATS Lahore. Funds are disbursed directly through the university financial aid office rather than paid directly to students by HEC. The total number of available scholarship slots relies on the specific funding allocated to the university.
Who Can Apply
To qualify for this program, applicants must meet the following eligibility conditions:
- Be enrolled in a BS or undergraduate degree program at COMSATS Lahore for the Fall 2026 intake.
- Have secured admission on an open merit basis (students admitted on a self-finance basis are not eligible).
- Demonstrate genuine financial need, with family income falling below the applicable poverty line. (Specific income limit details: Not specified in the source; please check the official notice).
An Institutional Scholarship Award Committee at the university evaluates all applicants to determine financial need.
Benefits
Selected grantees receive financial aid to assist with university fees. In addition, HEC provides a monthly stipend of Rs. 6,000 to each recipient. This support continues for the regular duration of the degree program, provided the student continues to meet eligibility criteria and complies with university policies.
How to Apply
The deadline to submit completed forms and supporting documentation is 15 October 2026. HEC does not accept direct applications, so all materials must go through the university. Candidates should follow these steps:
- Provide initial information online via the Google Form distributed by COMSATS Lahore.
- Obtain a physical scholarship application form from the photocopy shop at CUI Lahore Campus.
