Fifty percent of the scholarships will be awarded to female students, while students with special needs as well as those from remote and disadvantaged areas are also encouraged to apply.

A total of 132,198 applications have been received for the Ehsaas Undergraduate Scholarship Project. In the current fiscal year, 50,000 scholarships will be awarded to the deserving students who fulfill criteria.
