To aid students from the minority population financially, the Punjab government has created a scholarship scheme for thousands of non-Muslim students throughout the province.
Further information reveals that students enrolling in BS and BSc programs will earn a stipend of Rs. 30,000, while those pursuing intermediate and matriculation programs will receive stipends of Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 15,000, respectively.

The fact that non-Muslim students who completed their final exam with a score of fifty percent or higher and qualified for stipends must be noted. However, the total income of their household cannot exceed Rs 35,000.
