Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) has announced fee waivers and concessions for students affected by the recent floods. The decision aims to support learners facing financial difficulties due to natural disasters.
According to AIOU officials, students from flood-hit areas will be eligible for partial or full fee waivers. This initiative covers all levels of study, including undergraduate, graduate, and diploma programs. Students are required to submit proof of flood impact to benefit from these concessions.
“AIOU Announces Fee Waivers, Concessions for Flood-Affected Students as part of our ongoing commitment to education accessibility,” said a university spokesperson. “We understand the hardships faced by our students and want to ensure no one misses out on learning opportunities.”
The university has provided clear guidelines for applying. Students must fill out an online application form available on the AIOU website. Along with the form, they need to attach relevant documents, such as flood damage certificates or local authority verification. The university aims to process applications quickly to provide relief without delays.
Education experts have welcomed the move, highlighting that natural disasters often disrupt academic progress. Fee waivers and concessions help maintain continuity in education and reduce the burden on affected families.
“AIOU Announces Fee Waivers, Concessions for Flood-Affected Students, ensuring that learners can continue their studies without financial stress,” added the spokesperson. The university encourages all eligible students to apply before the deadline to benefit from the relief measures.
This step aligns with broader efforts in Pakistan to support flood victims. Many educational institutions are adopting similar measures to help students return to their studies promptly.
AIOU’s initiative reflects its commitment to inclusive education and social responsibility. By providing financial relief, the university helps ensure that students affected by floods do not fall behind academically.
