Qualified students are encouraged to apply for Habib University’s scholarship and financial aid packages as soon as they complete their admissions application.

Distinguished Yohsin Scholarships are full scholarships and are

awarded irrespective of applicants’ financial needs. Based solely on

merit, these scholarships are meant for exceptional students only.

to incoming students, they are highly competitive.

Scholarships

Habib University’s commitment to cover the demonstrated financial need of students is ensured through a very strong need-based Financial Aid Program. This program includes the following types of financial aid:

Deferred Fee Plan: HU has designed a special Deferred Fee Plan to facilitate the students to pay some part of their university fee after

completing their undergraduate education from HU. It allows students to pay for their higher education from their own earnings and demonstrate

their personal responsibility towards their education and growth.The Deferred Fee Plan is not governed by any ‘loan policy’ as it is not a loan. It is a form of facilitation provided to students and their families to

pay the university fee over an extended time period instead of paying the required fee during the four years of undergraduate studies. No interest is applied on re-payment amount. Other than the deferred fee amount,

an additional 3% administrative charge is applied per annum.

Grants: These are need-based funds that are awarded based on the students’ demonstrated financial needs. Grants are subject to an annual

review of a student’s financial circumstances and do not need to be repaid.

TUITION AND FEEA Valuable Investment for a Successful Future

The key factors determining the fee of a good institute include quality of faculty, student-teacher ratio, services and facilities provided to students, teaching and learning methodologies used, and the research activities in which faculty

and students are engaged. Habib University has ensured the highest quality of all of these factors to provide an exceptional learning environment to students and, as such, its tuition fee reflects the same. Side-by-side, our
