Aga Khan Scholarships
Aga Khan Scholarships are awarded for pursuing postgraduate studies to outstanding students who have no other means of financing for their studies. Aga Khan Scholarships are awarded on a 50 per cent grant and 50 per cent loan basis (payback period is five years, starting six months after the study period).
The Aga Khan Foundation gives priority to master's level courses, but considers PhD programmes, when doctoral degrees are necessary for the career objectives of the student. Requests will also be considered for travel and study awards for PhD students doing their research in third world countries on topics judged to be of interest to the Aga Khan Development Network.
