About the scholarship program

HSF’s flagship project Hanns Seidel Scholarship Program (HSSP): Support for Afghan Refugees in Pakistan
aims to strengthen the regional stability in Pakistan-Afghanistan through extensive education: by
providing long-term support to young, talented students from Afghanistan who are registered as
refugees in Pakistan and enrolled at Pakistani universities. Through HSSP, these Afghan students should
be enabled to finance their university studies, receive additional training in relevant disciplines parallel to
their studies, gain important professional experience in internships, and apply their knowledge regionally.

Eligibility criteria

activities

Terms and conditions of the scholarship

The scholarship grant of currently 33,000.00 PKR per month is paid quarterly, and usually lasts till the
completion of the currently pursued degree program (undergraduate or graduate). However, the
respective scholarship contract needs to be renewed annually and depends on several HSSP indicators,
such as regular class attendance, successful completion of each semester, academic progress towards the
degree, community engagement, and participation in HSSP events and activities such as within the HSF
Fellows network.

HSSP scholarship holders are expected to work diligently towards the successful completion of their
degree program and to inform HSF if they are experiencing challenges, whether personal or academic, to
finish their studies. In cases of fraud or misconduct, the scholarship will be discontinued immediately.
Also, for repeated absenteeism, underperformance or academic failure, continuation or discontinuation
of the scholarship will be determined by HSF and the education institution taking into account the
circumstances, reasons or explanation provided.

The scholarship grant is paid as a quarterly lump sum directly to the student on the record of HSSP
indicators. It does not need to be paid back by the student. The grant intends to contribute to the tuition
fees, study material/books, commute, food, lodging expenses, etc. of the student. The student is obliged
to observe the given working rules and guidelines, and to manage all materials with due care and
attention until returned.
