Cadet College Hasanabdal
Cadet College Hasanabdal is one of the finest institutions of Pakistan which is famous for quality
education and the environment which conducive to learning and grooming is provided to the young
minds of the nation.
The CCH Alumni have made their mark in every field of life. The Abdalians are contributing to the
progress of this country in their best capacity, earning fame for Pakistan even in abroad.
Many senior ABDALIANS are financially assisting young cadets of this institution without
mentioning their names. The college also offers different types of scholarships to many talented and
even financially weak students who are unable to bear the academic expenses.
Now the College is taking one step ahead for CCH graduates (students of F.Sc and A-levels) to make
them aware of different financial assistance offered by different prestigious educational institutions
and universities in Pakistan and abroad. In this booklet, the information is available along with E-
links for students to directly approach the website of any institution and know, well before joining it,
how much financial assistance will be offered, feasibility of studying there and thus making it
convenient for a student to decide his future.
The booklet carries contact information of Ex-Abdalians who are studying in these institutions and
will be available for further guidance.
For scholarships being offered by foreign universities, you can contact directly to Career Counselor
of Cadet College Hasanabdal Mr. Ammar Javed Siddiqui and Head of Career Counseling
Department Mr. Rizwan Maqbool.

Purpose of guide
Studying abroad can be a daunting task given the high costs involved that one has to pay in terms of
one's tuition, accommodation and travelling .From application to acceptance, the process of applying
to foreign universities is a rigorous and challenging task but what really makes it perturbing is the
harsh reality that even after getting accepted and being given a partial grant/scholarship most of us
find it virtually impossible to attend these colleges and universities. When it comes to searching for
foreign scholarships there are a lot of myths surrounding it and it is generally believed that only the
gifted students are given scholarship which is actually not the case. This guide is designed to provide
guidance to cadets who are seeking admissions in foreign universities and are looking to find ways to
fund their education.
01
Some Important Terminologies
Financial aid is money lent or given to you to help you pay for college. Whereas, Grants and
scholarships are kinds of financial aid that you don't have to pay back. That's why they are called gift
aid. All kinds of students get gift aid. Most grants are awarded based on financial need. But a good
portion of gift aid is awarded for academic achievement. If you're thinking about going to college,
you should definitely apply for grants and scholarships. Remember, though, that gift aid rarely covers
the entire cost of college. It's just part of the picture — a picture that may include loans, family
savings and other sources of money.
A word of Caution It is important to understand that scholarships/financial aids and grants are fluid
phenomena which means the application process, deadlines, eligibility criterion and the amount of
scholarships are subject to revision and change. Besides, each university or a scholarship program
has its own application process and varies from one to another .Therefore, in this guide the details are
not given .Only a brief introduction with the link to the web portal to the respective
scholarship/financial aid is provided and students are advised to explore and discuss with the career
counseling cell for further help.
American University (AU) awards a limited number of generous partial merit scholarships to
academically-qualified incoming international first-year undergraduate students. No need-based
financial aid is available to international students. The merit scholarship range from U.S.$6,000 to
U.S.$25,000 per academic year (renewable subject to conditions).
01
students are expected to save $1,000 (US) per year to
contribute toward their expenses. The College does
provide summer jobs to international students so that they
may meet this obligation.

Students at Stanford Each year, applicants for undergraduate admission to Stanford include more
than 5,000 international students from more than 150 countries. Many highly qualified applicants
would require financial aid to attend Stanford. Of these, the university can admit only a few. For
although Stanford is among the very few American colleges and universities that practice need-blind
admission for U.S. citizens, at present the university is not in a position to extend this practice to
international students.
