Everything You Need to Know About Parvaaz

This page explains the full Parvaaz Scholarship Program — who we are, how we select scholars, what we cover, and how the program works from application to graduation.

What is Parvaaz?

Pakistan Sweet Home runs residential centers that are home to over 2,000 orphan children across Pakistan. But there are hundreds of thousands more we cannot house.

Parvaaz is our answer.

We find bright orphan students who are already enrolled in schools and universities across Pakistan — and we remove the one thing standing between them and their future: the cost of education.

We do not house them. We fund them.

Parvaaz is a joint program by Pakistan Sweet Home — Asia's largest registered orphanage NGO, founded by Zamurrad Khan, recipient of the Hilal-e-Imtiaz.

Who Is This For?

Parvaaz is for orphan students who:

  • Have lost their father
  • Are enrolled in 9th grade or above — or in university
  • Scored 80% or more in their last exam
  • Are Pakistani citizens

Applications are open all year. There is no deadline.

What We Cover

Every rupee of the following is covered

Tuition fees

paid directly to your school or university

Books and stationery

reimbursed against receipts

Exam and board fees

paid every year

University admission fees

covered at point of admission

All payments go directly to your institution. No cash is ever handed to the student or guardian. Every transaction is documented.

How We Select Scholars

We do not select on grades alone

We use a 100-point scoring system.

Academic result40pts
Financial need30pts
Personal statement20pts
Interview10pts
Total100

Why? A student scoring 83% in a village school with no tutor and a widowed mother is more exceptional than a 90% student with every resource available. This system ensures every application is judged fairly.

The Selection Process

Every application goes through 5 stages

  1. 1

    Stage 1

    Application Review

    We check that all documents are complete and the student meets the basic eligibility criteria.

  4. 4

    Stage 4

    A short interview conducted at the nearest PSH center or via video call. We want to understand who you are — not just your marks.

What We Ask of You

Parvaaz is a partnership

We commit to you — and we ask you to commit back.

Maintain your grades

Keep 80% or above every year. If you are going through a difficult time, come to us. We review every case personally before making any decision.

Submit your result every year

Once your result is announced, send it to us along with your next fee challan. That is all we need to keep your payments going.

Share your story

Once a year we may ask for a photo or a short video. Your story inspires the next scholar and helps us raise the funds to keep this program running. We will always ask your permission before publishing anything.

From the day you are selected until the day you complete your degree. There is no time limit. As long as you meet the conditions, Parvaaz is with you.

  • What the scholar commits to in return
  • The process for performance reviews
