Document Checklist - Financial Aid

Document Checklist for Financial Aid Application

To request LUMS financial assistance, applicants/students must complete the Online Financial Aid application and submit required supporting documents by the specified deadline. It is important that all documents are scanned accurately (via scanner) and uploaded for review by the concerned authority.

Prospective applicants who indicate their intention to apply for LUMS Financial Aid (through the Online Admission Application), submit their admission application, and pay the required application processing fee by the deadline will be granted access to the Financial Aid application. The Financial Aid application tab will be visible on the Online Admission portal once the above requirements are met.
