FACILITY OF INTEREST-FREE LOAN TO THE STUDENTS OF PUBLIC SECTOR
UNIVERSITIES AND INSTITUTES

The State Bank of Pakistan had launched an interest-free loan scheme for students of public sector Universities, Institutes Colleges in February, 2001. The objective of scheme was to provide financial assistance to the meritorious students who obtain at least 70 % marks in the last examination and are unable to pursue their studies within Pakistan due to financial constraints. Such loans are available to students for tuition fee, purchase of text books/ reference books and boarding expenses.

The National Bank of Pakistan has devised a procedure for inviting applications from students and its processing for the grant of loans. The same is available in their designated branches in all major cities along with prescribed application form.

In its earlier notification of the National Bank of Pakistan, some Universities established in the public sector were not listed in this scheme. The case was taken up by the HEC with the Sate Bank and followed up vigorously. It has now been decided by the State Bank to include all public sector Universities and Institutions recognized by HEC for the facility of interest-free loan for the students
