You may find it helpful to consult with local education advisors in Lahore or Islamabad to streamline your application and visa process. Always verify your course eligibility via the official BCU website before applying. ## Important Terms and Limitations You can only receive one BCU scholarship. If you qualify for multiple awards, you will receive the one with the highest value. Payment of 50% of your tuition fee is required before the university issues your CAS, which is essential for your student visa application.
