The Government of Pakistan has reaffirmed its commitment to educational support through the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP 8171) by continuing the BISP 8171 Education Stipend in July 2025. This initiative, part of the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif scheme, aims to assist low-income families in keeping their children enrolled in school.
With an emphasis on increasing attendance and reducing dropout rates, this quarterly stipend provides financial assistance to students across primary, secondary, and higher secondary levels. The July 2025 stipend is being disbursed in two phases and includes increased transparency and digital accessibility for beneficiaries.
Purpose of the BISP Education Stipend
The stipend is designed to address educational inequalities by offering targeted financial aid to eligible children of BISP Kafalat recipients. These stipends help cover school-related expenses like books, uniforms, and transport, which often pose challenges for underprivileged families. By linking financial assistance to school attendance, the program also incentivizes regular participation in education.
