Financial Assistance
Committed to supporting deserving students by offering need-based scholarships.
IBA Karachi provides financial assistance to eligible students through four principal programs: the Fee Installment Plan, Qarz-e-Hasna (interest-free loans offered through participating donors), need-based scholarships, supported by bridge financing where applicable, and the National Talent Hunt Program (NTHP) Orientation. Each program has specific eligibility criteria and application procedures. Students are encouraged to review the relevant program guidelines and published application timelines before submitting their applications.
The Financial Assistance department at IBA Karachi administers these programs and provides guidance to students regarding available financial support and the associated application processes. Approximately 43% of IBA students received financial assistance during the 2025–2026 period.
