Merit Scholarship Maintenance and Reinstatement Criteria
Students admitted on a merit scholarship must maintain a minimum SGPA/CGPA of 3.50 to continue receiving the full scholarship percentage awarded at the time of admission.
If a student’s SGPA/CGPA falls below 3.50 but remains at or above 3.25, the scholarship award will be adjusted in accordance with the approved sliding-scale formula.
If a student’s SGPA/CGPA falls below 3.25, the scholarship will be discontinued.
A student whose scholarship has been discontinued may apply for full reinstatement upon regaining a CGPA of 3.50 or above. However, a maximum of two scholarship reinstatements shall be permitted during the student’s academic programme.
HOW TO APPLY:
- Applications for scholarships and financial assistance must be submitted to the Office of Student Affairs (OSA) within two weeks of the commencement of classes or within two weeks of payment of the first fee instalment, whichever is earlier. Late applications are not ordinarily entertained.
- For need-based assistance, applicants must submit financial documents including income evidence, utility bills, and a property statement. An interview may be required.
PAY IT FORWARD PLEDGE:
- Every scholarship recipient at UChenab signs the Pay It Forward Pledge—a commitment to mentor or support at least one deserving student during their professional career.
- To sustain this culture of giving back, UChenab is developing an Alumni Endowment Contribution Programme, through which scholarship alumni will be invited to voluntarily support future scholarships. The programme, scheduled for launch by December 2026, will recognize contributors through naming rights at defined contribution levels. An initial proposal encourages alumni to contribute a minimum of Rs. 5,000 annually to support students of their alma mater.
