The Government of Pakistan is providing education stipends to students through the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif Program. The program aims to increase school enrollment and reduce dropout rates among children from low-income families.
Under this scheme, the government gives quarterly stipends to children whose mothers are active beneficiaries of the BISP Kafalat Program.
Who Can Apply?
To qualify for the stipend, the child’s mother must be registered in the BISP Kafalat Program. The child must also have a valid NADRA B-Form or Child Registration Certificate (CRC).
The child must meet the following age requirements:
- Primary Education: 4 to 12 years
- Secondary Education: 8 to 18 years
- Higher Secondary Education: 13 to 22 years
How to Register
Parents or guardians can register their children by following these steps:
- Visit the nearest BISP office with the child
- Submit the child’s NADRA B-Form/CRC and the registered mobile number
- The BISP officer will issue an enrollment slip
- Take the slip to the child’s school for verification and stamp
- Submit the verified slip back to the BISP office
Parents should also carry the mother’s CNIC and the child’s admission slip during registration.
Attendance Requirement
Students must maintain at least 70% attendance in school or college. If attendance falls below this limit, the stipend may be stopped.
Quarterly Stipend Amount
The stipend amount depends on the student’s class and gender.

- Boys: Rs. 2,500
- Girls: Rs. 3,000
