NEED-BASED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

UChenab provides need-based financial assistance of up to 50% of tuition fee to students facing genuine financial hardship. Assessment is conducted by the Institutional Scholarship Award Committee (ISAC) through a structured process including document verification and an interview. There is no fixed entitlement — the assistance is determined case by case within the 50% ceiling.
The decision will be made based on the following:

  • Interview of the student.
  • The financial position of the student/parents/guardians.
  • Validity of documents.

Need-Based Scholarship Maintenance and Reinstatement Criteria:

  • Students admitted under the above need-based scholarship categories must maintain a minimum SGPA/CGPA of 3.00 to continue receiving the full scholarship percentage awarded at the time of admission.
  • If a student's SGPA/CGPA falls below 3.00 but remains at or above 2.75, the scholarship award will be adjusted in accordance with the approved sliding-scale formula.
  • If a student's SGPA/CGPA falls below 2.75, the scholarship will be discontinued.
  • A student whose scholarship has been discontinued may apply for full reinstatement upon regaining a CGPA of 3.00 or above. However, a maximum of two scholarship reinstatements shall be permitted during the student's academic program.

  • 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.
