There are 6 scholarship pools, each pool has a different eligibility criteria and an annual award applicable on the annual tuition fee. Each pool has a set number of awards, and

awards will be granted on the basis of applications received first. We don’t want the future of students to suffer due to uncertainty surrounding the CAIE exams. At Alcott, our aim has always been to give you the best chance of getting a

quality education regardless of adverse circumstances or financial setbacks.

Trust us, we at Alcott want to make sure that no student gets left behind. We want each student to get the same chance to earn a scholarship. The entrance test is quite simple and can be taken online. A link to the entrance test will be sent to you once you send in your application. Your score on the test will determine the amount of the annual

scholarship award you will receive.

Student Employment As part of our financial aid program, Alcott offers opportunities for student employment. The payment is included as part of the student’s financial aid plan. Students can opt to become teaching assistants or join one of the administrative departments as part of a

year or term long engagement.

We at Alcott hope that you are taking care of yourselves and each other. We know that this past month has been very difficult, our team has been working around the clock to figure out a plan of action for you so that your future

does not suffer. Our teachers and students have rallied together to continue with their

classes and assignments online. We understand that a lot of you are concerned about how to proceed with

the admission process with the uncertainty surrounding CAIE exams. To make the situation easier, we have introduced a new model of our scholarship program. This model ensures that each student has an equal

chance of earning a scholarship. And if you are still worried that you won’t meet the eligibility criteria for the scholarship pools, we are offering an entrance test. Your score on the

entrance is your pre-requisite for earning a scholarship up to Rs 384,000.

Our priority is to ensure that our students continue learning and that this unforeseen and unfortunate situation created by the pandemic does not impact their academic progress. At Alcott we see this as an opportunity to

explore new methods to strengthen our edtech.

The highlight of the event were no doubt the hardworking and glamorous cosplayers. Ali Hasan, Rabia and Wali Tahir were the winners of the cosplay competitions for their realistic costumes and breathtaking performances. Narmeen Aslam added fire to the the event with her energetic routine and won the hearts of her audience.
