Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I give to higher education?

Pakistan has one of the lowest university attendance rates in the world, largely due to limited opportunities and high costs. Your support can help change that. By funding a student’s education, you are not just transforming one life, you are uplifting an entire family, strengthening communities, and contributing to Pakistan’s long-term human development.

Will my donations help fund scholarships?

Yes, your donations can directly support scholarships for deserving students at Habib University. These scholarships are made possible through the generosity of individuals, organizations, and institutions. They include need-based, merit-based, and program-specific awards, helping ensure that deserving students can access a world-class education regardless of financial background.
