LUMS Funding
LUMS provides funding to PhD students in terms of Scholarship and Research Assistantship. The University’s policy is to admit students purely on merit, regardless of their financial status or background. The PhD Programmes at LUMS offers a fully-funded scholarship which covers the following:
- Admission Fee
- Tuition fees
- Semester Registration fee
- Monthly Stipend subject to the approval of the Supervisor
- The scholarship is for four (4) years, to meet the minimum graduation requirement of the Programme.
- The payment of allowances admissible under the Scholarship shall be made subject to the complete adherence to all rules and regulations governing the scholarship and satisfactory performance within the allocated degree Programme.
Teaching assistantships are another opportunity that may be available to doctoral students for additional financial assistance, subject to faculty approval. If a student receives funding from another source, the said amount of fee waiver and/ or scholarship allowance given by LUMS would be adjusted accordingly. Please note that the fee waiver and/ or scholarship funding is approved initially for one year and is renewable based on academic performance.
