A few years ago, the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) took a revolutionary step, under which educational scholarships are being provided to children from poor and deserving families. The aim of this initiative is to keep the doors of education open for children whose parents cannot continue their education due to lack of financial resources and enable them to move towards a brighter future.
This program is known as the “Benazir Educational Scholarship Program”, and now BISP has resumed its regular registration process. In this article, we will tell you which children can be included in this program, what are its conditions and what is the complete and easy registration procedure.
