CIIT Abbottabad Scholarship Schemes

CIIT follows a well spelt-out modus operandi to provide financial assistance to students who are good in studies but are handicapped due to financial constraints. A special fund is allocated to cater to the needs of the deserving students. For this purpose Financial Assistance Committees operate on all campuses to look into such cases. The different arrays of facilities which are provided under the monitory assistance program are briefly discussed below. Read further and apply for the financial assistance as required;
