Official IUB scholarship list, who is not eligible, and the need-based form
IUB’s scholarships are run by the Directorate of Financial Assistance (Director: Dr. Areeba Khan). The official scholarships page on iub.edu.pk lists these 14 schemes. Each one opens only when its sponsor announces a call, so apply in the call, not by visiting the office at any time.
| Group | Scholarships listed on iub.edu.pk/scholarships |
|---|---|
| HEC / Federal Government | Ehsaas (now HEC BISP Undergraduate), HEC Need Based, PAK–USAID, Gilgit Baltistan, Gwadar |
| Punjab Government (PEEF) | PEEF Bachelor Level, PEEF Master Level, PEEF Rahmatul lil Alameen |
| Other sponsors / trusts | Pakistan Scottish, Karwan E Ilam, Diya, NEST, BEEF, Ehsan Trust |
Who cannot get the Ehsaas (HEC BISP) undergraduate scholarship at IUB?
IUB’s official Ehsaas page lists these as not eligible: students already receiving another scholarship or grant; distance-learning and affiliated-college students; self-finance admissions and evening programs with higher fees; two-year, associate, Master’s or BA/BSc-nomenclature programs; and associate-degree holders entering a BS program in the 5th semester. Eligible students must be admitted on merit to an HEC-allowed 4–5 year undergraduate program and show financial need. The policy reserves 50% of awards for female students and 2% for students with disabilities.
How to apply for the IUB need-based scholarship (official form)
- Get the Need Based Scholarship Form (Financial Aid Office, Abbasia Campus) from iub.edu.pk or your department.

Is there one IUB scholarship portal for all schemes?
No. The HEC BISP (Ehsaas) scholarship is applied for online at ehsaas.hec.gov.pk in the call period, with hard copies to IUB; other schemes (HEC Need-Based, PEEF, trusts) follow the procedure in each sponsor’s call; IUB’s need-based form goes through your department.
