Who Can Apply for Alkhidmat Academic Scholarship?
The Alkhidmat Academic Scholarship is intended for talented students with financial need who are pursuing eligible higher education programmes in Pakistan.
According to the 2026 announcement, applicants must satisfy the prescribed academic, financial and institutional requirements.
The programme covers deserving students from colleges, universities, medical colleges and technical institutes. Alkhidmat's official scholarship information confirms that the programme is intended to support talented but financially needy students pursuing higher education.
Alkhidmat Scholarship Eligibility Criteria 2026
Academic Requirements for General Students
General-category students must have at least:
- 70% marks in Matric
- 75% marks in Intermediate
Academic Requirements for Minority Students
Minority students must have at least:
- 65% marks in Matric
- 70% marks in Intermediate
Applicants should also meet all other requirements specified by the Alkhidmat Academic Scholarship programme.
Eligible Degree Programmes
The 2026 announcement states that applicants should be enrolled in eligible undergraduate programmes in areas including:
- Medicine
- Engineering
- Information Technology (IT)
- Other eligible BS programmes
Students enrolled in recognized public-sector institutions can apply if they satisfy the remaining eligibility conditions.
Public-Sector University Requirement
One important condition is that applicants must be enrolled in a recognized public-sector university or eligible public-sector institution in Pakistan.
Students should therefore verify the status of their institution before submitting an application.
First 50% of the Degree
Applicants must be within the first 50% of their degree duration.
For example, in a four-year BS programme consisting of eight semesters, the applicant must be studying in the 4th semester or below.
This means students who are already beyond the first half of their degree are not eligible under this criterion.
Scholarship Amount
Selected students will receive financial assistance of:
PKR 9,000 per month
or approximately:
PKR 108,000 per year
The official Alkhidmat scholarship programme confirms that PKR 9,000 per month / PKR 108,000 per year is the sponsorship amount associated with supporting a deserving student.
The scholarship is intended to help students manage educational expenses and continue their studies despite financial difficulties.
Selection Process
Selection for the Alkhidmat Academic Scholarship is based on both merit and financial need.
This means academic performance alone does not guarantee selection. The financial circumstances of the applicant and family are also considered.
The purpose of this approach is to ensure that assistance reaches students who demonstrate both academic potential and genuine financial need.
Documents Required
Applicants should prepare the documents specified in the 2026 application announcement. These include:

- Copies of previous educational degrees/certificates
- Copy of the latest tuition fee slip

- Iqrarnama where required for eligible students
The official Alkhidmat portal also provides a specimen for the bonafide certificate. It states that the certificate should be printed on the college/university letterhead, signed by the relevant head of department or institution and properly stamped. It must also mention the course's start and end dates.
Bonafide Certificate Requirement
The bonafide certificate is particularly important because it confirms that the applicant is currently enrolled in the institution.
According to Alkhidmat's official specimen, the certificate should include:
- Student's name
- Father's name
- Current class/year/semester
- Degree/course duration
- Course start date
