Students who are awarded scholarships are expected to pay back the amount by sponsoring a needy student after completing their education and getting employment. Students can pay back the scholarship amount in easy monthly installments.

The financial status of each student is confirmed through independent inquiries made by Alfalah Scholarship scheme office bearers.
