HEC Announces Oman Scholarships 2026–27 for Pakistani Students

The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan has invited applications for the Omani Scholarship Program for Undergraduate Studies 2026–27, offering Pakistani and Azad Jammu and Kashmir students an opportunity to complete their bachelor’s education in Oman.

The scholarships are being offered by the Government of the Sultanate of Oman through its Cultural and Scientific Cooperation Programme. HEC will serve as Pakistan’s official nominating agency and will shortlist eligible applicants for consideration by the relevant Omani authorities.

Eligible students must submit their online applications by July 13, 2026.

Who Can Apply for the Omani Scholarship?

The scholarship program is open to citizens of Pakistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir who want to pursue undergraduate studies in Oman.

Applicants must meet the educational, testing and documentation requirements specified by HEC and the Government of Oman. Meeting the basic eligibility criteria does not automatically guarantee selection, as HEC will nominate candidates according to the applicable merit and selection process.

Students should ensure that the information entered in their application matches their academic certificates, identity documents and USAT records.

Valid USAT Score Is Mandatory

A valid Undergraduate Studies Admission Test, or USAT, score is one of the main requirements for the HEC Oman Scholarships 2026–27.

According to the announcement, candidates must already possess a qualifying USAT result. Results from tests taken on or after June 13, 2025, will be considered under the announced eligibility window.

HEC has also clarified that it will not arrange a separate USAT examination for this scholarship program. Students who have not already taken the required test may therefore be unable to participate in the current nomination cycle.

Applicants should carefully verify their test date, score and personal information before submitting the online form.

How to Apply for HEC Oman Scholarships 2026

Applications must be completed through the official HEC online system. Candidates should avoid relying on unofficial agents or submitting information through unverified websites.

Follow these steps to apply:

1. Visit the official HEC scholarships or Learning Opportunities Abroad portal.
2. Sign in using an existing account or create a new applicant profile.
3. Complete the required personal, contact and academic information.
4. Select the Omani Scholarship Program for Undergraduate Studies 2026–27.
5. Enter the details of your valid USAT result.
6. Upload the required educational and identification documents.
7. Review the entire application for spelling mistakes or incorrect information.
8. Submit the form before the closing date.
9. Save or print the submitted application for your records.

Candidates should apply early because incomplete forms, missing documents or technical problems near the deadline could prevent successful submission.

Documents Applicants Should Prepare

The final document list must be checked on the official HEC scholarship page. However, applicants should generally keep the following records available:

• Valid CNIC, B-Form or other required identity document
• Pakistani or AJK domicile, where applicable
• Passport or proof of passport application, if requested
• Matriculation, O-Level or equivalent certificate
• Intermediate, A-Level or equivalent academic records
• Valid USAT result
• Recent passport-size photograph
• Any equivalence certificate required for foreign qualifications
• Medical or additional supporting documents requested by HEC

All uploaded files should be clear, readable and consistent with the information provided in the application form.

Selection and Nomination Process

HEC is responsible for receiving applications and nominating eligible Pakistani and AJK candidates. Final admission and scholarship decisions may remain subject to approval by the Government of Oman and participating educational institutions.

Applicants should therefore understand that an online application, or even nomination by HEC, may not automatically constitute a final scholarship award.

HEC may reject applications containing incomplete, inaccurate or unverifiable information. Candidates should continue monitoring their registered email address and the HEC portal for updates, shortlisting notices or requests for additional documents.

Why Pakistani Students Should Consider Studying in Oman

The Omani Scholarship Program gives Pakistani students access to an international undergraduate education while promoting academic and cultural cooperation between Pakistan and Oman.

Studying abroad can help students develop independent learning skills, experience a different academic environment and build international professional networks. The program also supports stronger educational links between the two countries.

Students should still research their intended subject, institution, degree recognition, living arrangements and scholarship conditions before accepting an offer.

Application Deadline

The deadline to submit an online application for the HEC Oman Undergraduate Scholarship Program is:

July 13, 2026

Applications submitted after the deadline may not be considered. Students are advised to complete their forms and upload all supporting documents as early as possible.

Important Instructions for Applicants

Before submitting the application, candidates should:

• Confirm that they satisfy all eligibility conditions.
• Check that their USAT result falls within the accepted period.
• Use their own active email address and mobile number.
• Upload clear and authentic documents.
• Avoid entering estimated academic marks.
• Review the official HEC announcement for changes or additional instructions.
• Keep a copy of the completed application.

Applicants should use only official HEC channels for authoritative information about eligibility, nomination and application status.
