Alkhidmat Academic Scholarship 2026: PKR 9,000/Month for Deserving Students, Apply Before Oct 31

If you are a talented student in Pakistan held back by money, this is your moment.

The Alkhidmat Academic Scholarship 2026 is now accepting applications. It pays PKR 9,000 every month to deserving students across the country.

That adds up to PKR 108,000 per year. For many families, that is the difference between dropping out and graduating.

If you scored 70 percent in matric, this scholarship could fund your whole year.

The application is free and fully online. You can complete it from home in a single sitting.

Who Can Apply for the Alkhidmat Academic Scholarship

The scholarship is run by Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan. It targets students who are bright in studies but weak in finances.

It covers a wide range of study levels. Intermediate students can apply. Undergraduate students in BS programs can apply too.

Medical, engineering and IT students are explicitly included. Other eligible BS programs also qualify.

One strict condition applies to your institution. You must be enrolled in a recognized public-sector university or institution in Pakistan.

Private university students are not eligible. This is a firm rule, so check your institution's status before applying.

Students from colleges, universities, medical colleges and technical institutes are all covered. The program is designed to bridge the gap between talent and resources.

Thousands of students from remote areas have already benefited. For many, this was the first scholarship they ever received.

Scholarship Amount and What It Covers

Selected students receive PKR 9,000 per month. Over twelve months, that becomes PKR 108,000 per year.

The money is meant to cover educational expenses. Tuition fees, books and daily study costs all become easier to manage.

For context, the program has already disbursed over PKR 683 million to 7,820 students across Pakistan. That track record shows this is a serious, well-run program.

The beneficiaries include 1,997 medical students and 623 engineering students. Another 4,388 BS Honors and 816 IT students have also been supported.

The support continues through your degree. Once selected, scholars receive sustained financial coverage until they complete their program.

This long-term support matters. Many scholarships pay for one semester and disappear. This one stays with you.

Many past scholars now work as doctors and engineers. Their success stories are the program's best advertisement.

Alkhidmat also runs capacity-building sessions and career counseling for scholars. The goal is not just funding, but preparing students for professional life.

Eligibility Criteria: Marks, Institution and Degree Rules

Academic merit is the first filter. General students need at least 70 percent marks in matric.

For intermediate, the bar is 75 percent. Minority students get a small relaxation: 65 percent in matric and 70 percent in intermediate.

But marks alone are not enough. Selection is based on merit plus financial need.

Your family's financial situation will be assessed. Documents like salary slips and electricity bills help prove genuine need.

There is also a degree-progress rule. You must be within the first 50 percent of your degree duration.

In a four-year BS program of eight semesters, that means the fourth semester or below. Final-year students cannot apply.

Only one application per student is allowed. Submitting duplicates can get you disqualified.

An Iqrar Nama may also be required in some cases. It is a simple declaration form available on the official portal.

Meeting the minimum marks does not guarantee selection. The competition is real, so a strong overall profile helps.

How to Apply Online Before the October 31 Deadline

The entire process is online. You do not need to visit any office.

Applications opened on August 1, 2026. The last date to apply is October 31, 2026.

Start by visiting the official Alkhidmat scholarship portal. Create an account and verify your eligibility first.

Fill the application form carefully. Enter your personal, academic and financial details exactly as they appear on your documents.

Prepare your documents in advance. You will need your CNIC, your father's CNIC and a recent passport-size photograph.

You will also need your academic certificates, latest tuition fee slip and guardian's salary slip. A copy of the latest electricity bill is required too.

The bonafide certificate is the most important document. It must be on your institution's letterhead, signed and stamped, with your course start and end dates.

Upload everything and submit before the deadline. Keep copies of your submitted application for your own records.

Do not wait for the last week. Portals slow down near deadlines, and missing documents take time to arrange.

After submission, applications go through verification. Shortlisted candidates may be contacted for further documents or interviews.

The Daily Frontier Star reports that 3,985 male and 3,835 female students have benefited so far, with medical students forming the largest group.

Full details are listed on the Eduvision scholarship page.
