Overseas Pakistanis Foundation (OPF) recently launched the 2026 OPEF scholarship program to support students of expatriates. This program offers monthly stipends on Intermediate, Graduation, and Master levels. To get financial help in the ongoing academic session in Pakistan, eligible families are expected to apply until April 30, 2026.

The Overseas Pakistani Foundation has just implemented a crucial lifesaver for the children of our diaspora. OPEF scholarship is the opportunity to reduce the weight of tuition fees and living expenses as a student in Pakistan whose parent is employed in a foreign country. These grants change academic paths and as the due date of April 30, 2026 closer, time is of the essence.

What Does the OPF Scholarship Cover?

The program aims at the ordinary students of public and private institutions. In a bid to obtain an intermediate certificate or in another level such as a professional one such as MBBS, Engineering, or MS, the Overseas Pakistanis Foundation has put together monthly stipends, according to the level at which you study:

The Overseas Pakistanis Foundation has stringent merit and need based requirements. You should have a minimum of 60% marks or 2.5 CGPA in your recent examinations.
