Hey Sakariya A,
The Aga Khan Foundation’s International Scholarship Programme (AKF ISP) 2025-26 is currently open and is accepting applications. But please keep in mind that this scholarship only provides partial funding in the form of Half Loan and Half Grant and this is the eligibility criteria:
We also want you to note that a scholarship in most cases cannot cover the complete costs of education, so it is always a good idea to look at alternative options such as education loans to make sure you have the complete funding required by you to complete your degree. Our Financial officer has tried reaching you regarding this. I hope you found this helpful. All the best.
