COMSATS Opens Al-Khidmat Scholarships With Rs6,500 Monthly Stipend
COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI), Lahore Campus, has opened applications for the third phase of the Al-Khidmat Academic Scholarship Programme 2026 for undergraduate students facing financial difficulties. The COMSATS Al-Khidmat scholarship is offered in collaboration with Al-Khidmat Foundation Pakistan, and eligible students can submit online applications until Saturday, October 31, 2026.
The scholarship provides a monthly stipend, annual financial support and partial assistance with tuition fees for eligible undergraduate students. With the deadline one week away, students who need support should complete their applications soon.
How much support will students receive?
Selected students will receive a monthly stipend of Rs6,500 under the scholarship programme. That amounts to Rs78,000 in annual financial assistance.
The programme also provides partial tuition fee support for the entire duration of the undergraduate degree, subject to the scholarship conditions and continued eligibility. For students from low-income families, that combination of a monthly stipend and tuition help can make the difference between staying in university and dropping out.
How will students be selected?
Applicants will not receive the scholarship solely on the basis of submitting an online form. COMSATS says applications will first undergo district-level verification and financial assessment.
Candidates who move forward in the process will then face interviews conducted jointly by representatives of Al-Khidmat Foundation Pakistan and COMSATS University Islamabad. The assessment process is intended to verify the applicant’s financial circumstances before the final scholarship decision.
That two-stage check, verification followed by interview, is designed to make sure the support reaches students who genuinely need it. Applicants should therefore give accurate financial information and be ready to support it during the process.
How to apply for the COMSATS Al-Khidmat scholarship 2026
Eligible students must submit their applications online through the Al-Khidmat scholarship portal. The official application website is scholarships.alkhidmat.org. Students should complete the required information and submit their application before the closing date of October 31, 2026.
The official COMSATS announcement does not list a separate physical application process, so applicants should use the online scholarship portal referenced by the university.
Students applying should note that this is the third phase of the programme at the Lahore Campus. The Lahore Campus, on Defence Road off Raiwind Road, was established in 2002 and is one of the university’s largest campuses, with thousands of enrolled students.
Why scholarships like this matter
Financial pressure is one of the main reasons students leave higher education early. Tuition fees, books, transport and daily expenses add up, and families already stretched by inflation can struggle to keep a child in university. Programmes that pair a monthly stipend with tuition support address both the recurring costs and the largest single bill.
The COMSATS announcement sits alongside other recent education news. The 60 per cent marks requirement for MBBS and BDS admissions remains in place, private schools in Rawalpindi have been given one week to register, and students can apply for the Prime Minister’s Youth Chromebook Scheme through the IBCC portal. At university level, Karachi University has made new rules for campus events mandatory.
Eligible undergraduate students at the Lahore Campus should apply before October 31, 2026, through the Al-Khidmat scholarship portal.
