Dalda Foundation Trust has opened its 2026-27 scholarship and student development program, offering support to students across all of Pakistan's provinces as well as Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. Applications opened on October 12, 2026, and will close on November 13, 2026. The program covers two broad tracks. The first is professional education, spanning intermediate level through university, which includes financial aid along with academic counselling, mentoring, skills training, and career development support. The second track is vocational and technical training, covering practical courses such as digital skills, technical trades, retail, hospitality, healthcare, and agriculture and livestock, with course lengths ranging from six months to two years. Eligibility differs depending on the track. For professional education, general applicants must be under 19 years old and in their first year of intermediate studies at an eligible public-sector institution. They also need matric marks of at least 70% if they studied ICS, Arts, or Home Economics, or at least 80% if they studied medical, engineering, or general science subjects. For vocational training, applicants need at least 50% marks in matriculation and admission to an eligible government institution or government-approved program. Family income limits also apply. For general applicants, a parent or guardian's monthly income must not exceed Rs. 70,000, and urban families must meet a residential property limit of 120 square yards. A separate category exists for the children of third-party workers, who can apply for professional education support starting from Grade 8 under a higher income limit of Rs. 90,000, with the same 50% matric requirement for vocational training. Students can only apply online through the foundation's official website, daldafoundation.pk; manual applications are not accepted. The process requires registering with personal, educational, and financial details, and submitting documents that must be approved by the principal of the applicant's educational institution. Selection is based on a written test followed by a verification process.
