Merit cum Need Based Scholarship / Soft Loan Facility

The world is witnessing the emergence of a knowledge-based economy where the role of knowledge is recognized as a critical input to economic growth and development. Higher education indeed is critical for joining the league of a knowledge-based economy.

Education in general, and higher education in particular, is of special significance for Pakistan to live as a civilized society in the comity of nations.

Lack of career awareness and the cost of education have hampered the enrollment of students at the university level. Most of the students are not in a position to fund their education which leads to a high dropout rate after completing their intermediate.

It is imperative that students should be facilitated in their career planning and informed about the various degree programmes and assist them in financing their education by providing them scholarships and loans.

In the words of Hazrat Ali A.S.

Whoever wants to be a leader should educate himself before educating others. Before preaching to others he should first practice himself. Whoever educates himself and improves his own morals is superior to the man who tries to teach and train others.

Fatimiyah Education Network (FEN) is among those privileged institutions that maintains a Career and Scholarship Desk. Students are facilitated in obtaining educational scholarships / soft loans to pursue their professional careers, after undergoing a basic screening.
