A Brief Look at Dalda Foundation
The Dalda Foundation was established in 2004 after Dalda Company contributed over PKR 1.3 billion to Unilever Pakistan. Since then, the foundation has grown into a respected NGO focusing on education and healthcare for underprivileged communities.
The scholarship program is its flagship initiative, designed to open doors for talented students who might otherwise be forced to abandon their studies.
Selection Process and Results
The foundation may use the Online Testing Service (OTS) to assess applicants, with tests or interviews forming part of the selection procedure. Final results will be published on the foundation’s official website and can also be checked directly through their office.
Why It Matters
For many students in Pakistan, access to higher education is blocked by financial hardship rather than academic ability. By covering tuition, living costs, and accommodation, the Dalda Foundation Scholarships give deserving young people the chance to compete on merit and pursue professional careers.
