No. Checking eligibility and applying are completely free. If anyone asks you to pay, it isn't part of this programme — please report it.

Apply to the one track that matches your current grade level and city. If you're unsure which one fits, use the Eligibility page or ask the chatbot.

Your latest mark sheet, proof of household income, and a copy of your CNIC or B-form. You won't upload files directly — you'll share Google Drive links instead. The application form explains exactly how.

You can make one for free with any Gmail address in a couple of minutes at drive.google.com. If you truly can't create one, ask a teacher, older sibling, or a cyber café to help you scan and upload the documents just once.

Typically two to three weeks after your track's deadline. You'll be contacted using the phone number on your application, so make sure it's correct and reachable.

Right after you submit, you'll get an Application ID — save it. You can look up your status anytime on the Status page using just that ID.

Contact us with your Application ID and tell us what needs correcting — don't submit a second application, since duplicates can slow down review.

A programme coordinator will contact your parent or guardian directly to confirm your details and walk through the next steps, including how funds are sent to your school.

Yes — a guardian can fill out the form for you. Just make sure the student's own details (name, marks, CNIC) are entered accurately, since that's who the scholarship is for.

Apply anyway. The thresholds are guidelines, not strict cut-offs — reviewers consider your full situation, and the essay is where you can explain circumstances the form doesn't capture.
