The Higher Education Commission has invited applications from Pakistani and Azad Jammu and Kashmir students for the Moroccan Government Scholarships Program 2026–27. The initiative provides academic opportunities in Morocco across multiple levels of higher education.
Selected candidates will be able to study in public universities, technical institutes, and vocational training institutions in Morocco.
The program offers a total of 10 scholarships for eligible Pakistani and AJK nationals.
The last date to apply through the official HEC scholarship portal is June 10, 2026.
Academic Levels Offered Under the Program
The scholarship program covers Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD degree levels. Each level has specific eligibility requirements.
Moreover, selected students will gain access to Morocco’s diverse higher education system. This includes academic and technical fields across various disciplines.
Eligibility Criteria for Applicants
Applicants must hold Pakistani or AJK nationality and must be permanent residents of Pakistan or AJK. Dual nationality holders are not eligible for this program.
For Bachelor’s degree programs, candidates must have completed Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) or an equivalent qualification. They must also meet required academic and age conditions.
For Master’s programs, applicants must possess a relevant Bachelor’s degree.
Similarly, PhD applicants must hold a relevant Master’s degree that qualifies them for doctoral-level studies.
In addition, applicants must submit a valid USAT score for Bachelor’s programs. For Master’s and PhD programs, a valid HAT score is required.
Language Requirements and Academic Instruction
French is the primary language of instruction in most Moroccan higher education institutions. Therefore, students without sufficient French language skills may be required to attend preparatory language courses after arrival.
However, some programs are also offered in Arabic. These include subjects such as Arabic Language and Islamic Studies.
As a result, students should carefully consider language requirements before applying.
Scholarship Coverage and Academic Opportunities
The Moroccan Government Scholarships Program allows students to study at public institutions across Morocco. These institutions include universities as well as technical and vocational training centers.
Applicants are advised to carefully review all financial terms and conditions. This includes tuition coverage, living expenses, travel arrangements, and other possible costs.
Furthermore, candidates should verify whether their chosen field and institution are recognized by relevant authorities in Pakistan.
This is especially important for professional degrees such as Medicine, Engineering, Nursing, Architecture, Law, and Veterinary Sciences.
Applicants are encouraged to consult relevant professional councils before finalizing their academic choices.
