The scholarship program accepts applications from around the world and offers opportunities for undergraduate degrees in various majors, including humanities, arts, natural sciences, law, and health sciences.


This scholarship program is considered prestigious and aims to provide financial assistance to students from flood-affected districts in Pakistan. The severe floods that occurred in Pakistan caused significant damage to infrastructure and livelihoods, leaving many students from financially disadvantaged families in a precarious position. 

The USAID-funded Merit and Needs-based Scholarship Program has been providing financial support to such students since 2004. The program has now extended its scope to provide scholarships to students from flood-affected communities, allowing them to pursue their undergraduate degrees.


To apply for the USAID Undergraduate Scholarships for Flood-affected students, applicants must meet specific criteria. They must be in their fifth or sixth semester of an undergraduate degree program in certain disciplines and belong to districts/sub-districts/UC Tehsils listed by the Government of Pakistan/PDMA/District Administration as being affected by floods. Additionally, they must provide evidence of flood damage, such as a damaged house or livelihood. The application process is online, and shortlisted candidates will be interviewed for financial support by the University's Institutional Scholarship Award Committee. Females receive 50% of all scholarships, and students of all skill levels are encouraged to apply.

Applicants must submit several necessary documents, including a notarized copy of a diploma or certification, a personal statement, non-criminal records, passport for international students, a short resume/CV, a motivational letter or statement of purpose, recommendation letters, a health certificate, proof of language proficiency, a good TOEFL or IELTS score, acceptance letter (optional), or any other supporting documents.


The application deadline for the USAID Undergraduate Scholarships for Flood-affected students is March 17th, 2023

. This scholarship program is an excellent opportunity for Pakistani students affected by natural disasters to continue their education and pursue their dreams.
