Honorific Fellowships
Honorific Fellowships (merit based) for undergraduates in the fundamental sciences
Expanding upon the esteemed legacy of the Honorific Fellowships at the Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering, moving forward, this distinguished fellowship will be awarded to the top 8 candidates (2 from each discipline) for a duration of three years. The distinguished students will receive scholarship of 50% (tuition fee), based on a maximum of 36 credit hours in a year. The fellowship encompasses students ranging from Sophomore to Senior Levels, who elect to major in any of the four foundational sciences (biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics) upon declaring their major.
These Fellowships were created from a generous donation received from Packages Limited honouring the 90th birthday of the Founder of the School, Syed Babar Ali.
