Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to the most common questions Pakistani students ask our counselors.

Full-ride undergraduate scholarships (covering 100% tuition, room, and board) are exceptionally rare and reserved for top national olympiad or Ivy League-tier scholars. However, partial tuition merit scholarships ranging from 20% to 80% are widely available for qualified applicants. At the Master's and Ph.D. level, Graduate Assistantships (Teaching or Research) frequently provide full tuition waivers plus a monthly living stipend.
