In a major move to fight poverty through education, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially started disbursing school stipends to children whose mothers are already part of the BISP Kafalat initiative. This educational aid isn’t just financial relief it’s a long-term investment in literacy, especially for girls, and aims to keep kids from dropping out.
Children from nursery to intermediate level (Class 12) can qualify, provided they meet certain rules. And yes, the support increases if you’re a girl or in a higher grade. Here’s everything families need to know.

👩👧 Who Is Eligible for BISP Education Stipends?
This benefit is exclusively for children whose mothers are already receiving help under the BISP Kafalat Program. A few key conditions apply:
| ✅ Eligible | 📌 Conditions |
| Mothers | Must be receiving BISP Kafalat money |
| Children (Nursery–Class 12) | Must be enrolled in school with at least 70% attendance |
| Documentation | CNIC (Mother) and B-Form (Child) registered with NADRA |
| Notification | SMS confirmation from 8171 |
Only official government or registered private schools count. Once the child is linked correctly to the mother’s profile and school confirms attendance, the process moves forward.
💸 How Much Is the Education Stipend?
The stipend amount depends on both the class level and the child’s gender. To promote female education, girls typically receive more than boys. Here’s the breakdown:
- 🧒 Nursery to Class 5
- 👧 Girls: PKR 2,000–2,500
- 👦 Boys: PKR 1,500–2,000
- 🏫 Class 6 to 10
- 👧 Girls: PKR 3,000–3,500
- 👦 Boys: PKR 2,500–3,000
- 🎓 Class 11 & 12
- 👧 Girls: PKR 4,000
- 👦 Boys: PKR 3,500
This incentive helps ensure that financial limitations don’t force kids out of school, especially girls who are often the first to lose out.
