About the Foundation

Habib University Foundation is a non-profit education organization which collects scholarship funds, educational endowments and donations for Habib University.

Inspired from American community-owned universities like Harvard and Stanford, Habib University is the first non-profit liberal arts institution in Pakistan supported by its donors. With 85% of its student body on scholarship or financial aid, Habib University is one of the most generous higher education institutions in the world.

This dream of providing accessible world-class higher education has been made a reality through the support of our donors (Mohsineen) who provide grants for university students and donate for scholarships. The Habib University Foundation supports Habib University’s mission and is a Section 501 (c) (3) tax-exempted public charity that offers higher education funding to underprivileged students.
