The eligible students can submit applications to participate in the country’s large budgeted Ehsaas Undergraduate Scholarship Programme for the year 2020-21 till November 30 (Monday). According to an official source, the last date for applying in the scholarship programme was extended from October 30 to November 30 considering the COVID-19 fronted delays in the admission process at several public sector universities in the country. The decision of extension was taken to facilitate a maximum number of fresh undergraduate students to apply for this scholarship opportunity. The Ehsaas Undergraduate Scholarship is a flagship programme of the present government with an objective to provide scholarships to financially challenged students for the duration of their studies. Around 125 public sector universities recognized by Higher Education Commission are part of this initiative. The Ehsaas undergraduate scholarships aimed at facilitating the students from low income families (less than Rs45,000 a month) and marginalized regions in pursuing their undergraduate studies. Eligible students can apply through an online portal: https:// ehsaas.hec.gov.pk/.
