Engro I Am The Change (IATC) Impact Award 2025-26

About This Scholarship

The Engro 'I Am The Change' (IATC) Impact Award is less of a traditional tuition scholarship and more of a massive capacity-building grant. It targets social entrepreneurs, student-led NGOs, and community leaders who are solving critical issues in Pakistan (like Education, Health, and Livelihoods). While primarily funding organizations, it also supports student-led initiatives by providing massive financial grants (often in millions) to scale up social projects that have a proven impact on marginalized communities.
