Message From Vice-Chancellor

My dear students, parents, and Philanthropists Assalamu Alaikum!

Welcome to the Financial Aid Office. It's indeed a matter of pleasure for me to share that at KIU, we are offering a number of scholarships to position holders and needy but talented students.

1. Currently KIU offers more than 3000 scholarships with the support of various sponsors including HEC Merit Cum Need, BISP scholarships, US Aid scholarships, Pakistan Education Foundation scholarships, Scottish Government scholarships, Chinese Ambassadorial scholarships and many more.
2. The scrutiny committee to award these scholarships is comprised of senior academics and officers to ensure transparency, merit, and efficiency of the process so that deserving students are given the scholarships. A thorough documents and income verification system has been in place so that only deserving students can be awarded such scholarships on merit, as prescribed by the donor agencies.
3. At the same time, we are exploring more funding opportunities for the deserving students coming from underprivileged segments of society. It is also the responsibility of parents to provide correct and genuine information at the time of application so that deserving students can be awarded their rights.
4. For students acquiring scholarships, it is mandatory that they work hard and meet the expectations of their sponsors by showing their best performance and achieving top positions. Such students must be proud of their scholarships and must refrain from any unethical activity that can breach the trust reposed in them.
5. To the philanthropists and prudent people of society and the Pakistani diaspora abroad, it's my earnest request to contribute graciously to the scholarship funds of KIU, as every year about 700-800 students face severe financial challenges to continue their education, and most of them are female. Though we are trying to explore funding to sponsor their education, the challenge is much bigger. Your support is thus required for such destitute students.
6. I also appreciate the hard work of the team of the Financial Aid Office and hope that they will continue with the same zeal and zest to ensure that the right is given to the deserving students.
7. I pray that may Allah SWT enable us to provide possible financial assistance to the deserving students with the support of our sponsors and philanthropists. Ameen Summa Ameen.
