How to apply for a scholarship

This is the complete application path on the Marafie Foundation portal: create an account, finish your profile, add qualifications, income, documents and a bonafide certificate, choose a scholarship, complete the apply wizard, then track review until a decision.

The complete application mechanism

You cannot submit an application from this public page. Applications are created only after you sign in as a student. The portal then runs a guided wizard that checks eligibility against your profile before you can submit.

Application flow

Flow of creating an account, adding records, applying through the wizard, and review after submit.

Add qualifications, income, documents, and a bonafide certificate from Manage in the student portal before you start the wizard. Boxes link to the matching section below.

  1. 1

    Register

    Name, CNIC, email, phone, and password — or continue with Google if it is enabled.

  2. 2

    Verify email

    Open the link sent to your inbox. Google sign-in verifies email automatically.

  3. 3

    Finish your profile

    Full name, CNIC, father’s name, province, and district are required before you can apply.

  4. 4

    Build your records

    Add qualifications, income, guardian, documents, and a bonafide certificate. The wizard checks these against the category.

  5. 5

    Apply through the wizard

    Category → eligibility check → semester details (if required) → review, extra files, and submit.

1

Create an applicant account

Open Register and submit the form with your legal name, CNIC (xxxxx-xxxxxxx-x), email, mobile number, and password. Accept the terms to continue. If Google login is enabled on the portal, you may use Continue with Google instead.

  • Use an email you can access — verification is sent there.
  • Use a Pakistani mobile number you can receive messages on.
  • One CNIC maps to one student account. Do not create a second account.

Capture the public Register page, including the Google button if it is shown.

Verify your email

After registration you are taken to the verification notice. Open the email we send and click the signed verification link — it works even if you are not logged in, like a password reset link. You can continue to the student portal and submit forms, but verification is still required.

If the message is missing, check spam, then use Resend verification email. You can also open WhatsApp from that screen or request a WhatsApp verification link. Admins can send the same signed link to your number.

Capture the “verify your email” screen a new student sees after register.

Build your records before you apply

After login, open Manage in the student header. Eligibility in the apply wizard reads these records. Add them first so Continue is not blocked.

Add qualifications

Go to Manage → Qualifications → Add Qualification. Enter every completed level the category may require (for example Matric, Intermediate, and current degree).

  • Degree level and degree program (required)
  • Study field when it applies
  • Institution name and board / university
  • Passing year, then percentage or CGPA
  • Upload the result card or transcript for that qualification

Screenshot placeholder

Capture Manage → Qualifications → Add Qualification with the form filled.

Add Qualification: degree level, program, institution, marks, and result file.

Add income and guardian

Open Manage → Income Details and save household figures used for need and PMT. Then open Manage → Guardian Info.

Income details

  • Father/guardian and mother monthly income (PKR)
  • Family members and dependents
  • Vehicles owned and other assets asked on the form
  • Supporting notes or income proof if requested

Guardian info

  • Guardian type (father, mother, or other)
  • Full name and CNIC
  • Phone and occupation
  • Mark deceased if that applies

Upload documents

Go to Manage → Documents → Upload Document. Pick a document type (or Custom / Other), attach a clear scan, and save. Categories often require files already on this list before eligibility can pass.

  • CNIC or B-Form
  • Recent photograph
  • Domicile, income certificate, or other types listed for that scholarship
  • PDF, JPG, or PNG — keep each file readable

Screenshot placeholder

Capture Manage → Documents including the upload modal.

Add a bonafide certificate

Go to Manage → Bonafide Certificate → Upload. You can also attach one later on the wizard semester step if the category requires it. Saving it under Manage first is easier when you apply to more than one scholarship.

  • Certificate number and institution name
  • Issue date (expiry date optional)
  • Purpose, such as scholarship application
  • Scan of the certificate (PDF, JPG, or PNG)

Capture Manage → Bonafide Certificate → Upload.

Choose an open scholarship

Browse Available Scholarships. Open a scholarship to read categories, deadlines, and document lists. While signed in as a student, use Apply Now to start the wizard. Guests are asked to create an account first.

You may apply to more than one scholarship if you meet each category’s rules. You cannot submit a second application for the same scholarship.

Capture a published scholarship detail page, including the apply button.

Complete the application wizard

The wizard is the only way to submit. Progress is shown at the top: Scholarship, Eligibility, optional Semester, then Submit. You can go back to earlier steps before you send the application.

6a. Select a category

Each scholarship has one or more categories (for example by study level or need). Pick the category that matches you. The card shows how many qualifications and documents that category expects. If only one category exists, it is selected for you.

Screenshot placeholder

Capture the category selection step of the apply wizard.

Wizard step 1: scholarship summary and category cards.

6b. Eligibility check

The portal compares your saved records with the category rules: qualifications, documents, income, guardian, study field, degree, institution, and bonafide when required. Continue stays disabled until every required item is met. If something fails, add the missing record under Manage, then return to this step.

Capture the eligibility results with both passed and failed items if possible.

Wizard step 2: requirement checklist and eligibility score.

6c. Current semester (when required)

Some scholarships ask for current enrollment before submit. When that step appears, provide:

  • Current institution (from the category’s allowed list when one is set)
  • Current semester or class
  • CGPA or marks, as required by the scholarship
  • Current fee, if asked
  • Fee slip, latest result, and/or bonafide certificate when the category requires them (PDF, JPG, or PNG, max 5MB)

Capture the current-semester step with enrollment fields and file uploads.

6d. Review, extra documents, and submit

Confirm scholarship, category, and eligibility score. If the semester step was skipped, enter academic figures here and upload a fee slip or result when the scholarship requires them. If PMT is required, the score is calculated from your profile. Read the terms, tick the confirmation, then click Submit Application.

Only submit if every field is accurate. False information can disqualify the application. After submit you cannot send another application for the same scholarship.
